There are few things as satisfying and clear as a beautiful column. This one is 24-feet tall and lifts 15 floors of apartments above a corner retail space at our Transbay block 2E project with @dciengineers #structuralengineering #concreteconstruction #concrete #reinforcedconcrete #brutalism #modernarchitecture #architecturelovers

Unanimous endorsement for the Civic Center Public Realm Plan! by the San Francisco Planning Commission yesterday. The interdisciplinary vision spans the 16-acres from Market Street to City Hall to create a civic space for all San Franciscans. Both an invitation for daily neighborhood leisure and a space for mass gatherings and celebration, the design frames these varied uses with allees of 400 new trees. The architecture activates the open space plan with focal points of amenities and circulation and energizes moribund building frontages. An incredible team led by @cmgsite and @sfplanning with consultants including @gehlpeople @structus @lotusengineers @interethnica among others. @sfrecpark @sfmayorsoffice @sfplanning @sfparksalliance @sfparksforward #publicspace #urbandesign #urbanarchitecture #landscapelovers #landscapearchitecture #adaptivereuse #architecturelovers @sfmayorsoffice #sanfrancisco
