There’s an article in today’s (Sunday Oct 26th 2019) SF Chronicle; Bay Area section about architect Jeanne Gang; her vision and her other Bay Area projects. Briefly, in the article it notes that the idea behind the twisting is to create a more sustainable space.

This project stands out and is as much art as architecture in that it gets people talking.

I like it. When there's an Earthquake it will be hard to tell if it's damaged or not though.

timbad - I got a good chuckle from your comment! The building does look like a zipper now that you mention it.

Anyone have any updates on when move-in would occur? Such a nice addition to the housing stock.

Great shot! This is one of the more complex/chaotic of the twisting designs around the world, primarily because the fenstration/relief of the facade is not consistent, which most twisting towers employ. In this case, it kind of works. It's complex and chaotic - like a lot of life is right now (and always) - but constrained within an organized mass.

^^Amazing considering how eastern Folsom used to be such a low rise wasteland.
