I am truly amazed and stupefied, in part due to the overwhelming response to the aesthetic of the City Hall as well as the historical aspects. I also can look at the City Hall building and ask for the added possibilies of new constructs (while preserving the existing City Hall) serving public and business needs throughout San Francisco.<br /><br />I have to add, as one who was born in San Francisco in the '60's and studied art there - eh, is there a possibility for an affordable future building construct (within a city-service based structural concept) that is more "21st century" and serves the employment and design needs of people and professional architects who are about to live and look for employment and work there? Maybe one that is "city"-styled and easy to enter 24-7, that can accomodate "21st century" people needs and can help to expedite and add to the existing process of often-times completely confusing efforts of 21st century working people and businesspeople to gain and create new wealth, and sustain the promise of additional future architecture endeavors in that wonderful city (The U.S. Federal Building notwithstanding)?

Wow what 20 years will do. The Corinthian Court built in 1915 to house the World expo visitors was restored in the 80s. Harry's Bar, Spuntinos and STARs the most desired restaurant at the time all revolved arount this Gem of a building. Once again it has been altered to house extended suites, a bank and a California Pizza Kitchen. In just 20 years, so Sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-36556726369766084902010-07-08T12:06:22.420-04:002010-07-08T12:06:22.420-04:00I use to live accross the street from city hall in...I use to live accross the street from city hall in 1987 in the beautiful Beax Arts building on Van Ness and McAllister.
