Hey! Maybe now San Francsico will take the title of "
World's Shortest Railway" from Angel's Flight.
But in all seriousness, I am not that disappointed. Although it was not my first choice, it's not a bad "plain" tower and terminal. When I think about it, alot of my favorite skylines have mediocre "tallest buildings". I never thought much of Sear's design nor do I have much love for the new "Chicago Spire," but still "I THINK" (and I stress that its just an opinon) Chicago has the handsomest skyline in the country. And although the Empire is iconic and monumental, I think Chrysler will always be New Yorks greatest skyscraper. This tower is just nice and simple and big. Probably wont be great on it's own, but apart of a great skyline. I look foward to Renzo Piano's towers, the other towers that will be built around transbay, Treasure Islands tallest, and maybe something in Oakland (ya never know). For Pelli's tower, I really hope it gets built at its height and looks elegant. We should start a new thread for it and call it "
the drama begins!"
As a sidenote, I really think I would like the tower a lot more if its were all done up in a creamy white like it looks in this model.
