San Francisco's Changing Cityscape

Today's San Francisco Chronicle featured a fascinating story on several designs for the proposed Transbay Terminal. Soaring 1,225 feet, the proposed tower will replace the Transamerica Pyramid as the tallest building in San Francisco and will likely influence architecture in the city for the next 30 years. The concept designs range from awe-inspiring (see Skidmore Owings and Merrill's design ) to rather soulless (see Rogers Stirk Harbour's design) -- at least, in my view.
