Everybody loved that gorgeous tower and the massive base with the terminal entrance that just screamed "glorious" for lack of a better word. But we know that SOM's actual transit terminal design had issues with ciculation and capacity and I think the notion was they spent too much time on the wow factor of the beautiful tower and not enough time on engineering a bulletproof intermodal center, which is what the whole project wad about. I think had SOM gone back to the table and redesigned the terminal the best they could they probably would have won the competition.

Don't kid yourself- the reason was that Hines promised TJPA more money for the land (which hasn't been paid yet )
edwards: thanks for the shots of the temporary terminal - those are the best (maybe only) ones ive seen on this site!

A symbol of an Arab drinking coffee called "the taster" was designed by an artist named Briggs in 1906[4] but was replaced by a new "taster" to represent the original founders in 1990
There is a Hills Bros. Coffee Plant located at 2 Harrison Street at the Embarcadero in San Francisco built 1926. It is an official landmark building. http://www.noehill.com/sf/landmarks/sf157.asp
