Fast fact:
When The Pyramid's three years of construction began in 1969, signs around the
site proclaimed it "a San Francisco landmark since 1972."
Around San
Franciso’s picturesque wooden Victorian houses, this skyscraper climbs like a
rocket. Although not comparable to the futuristic designs of newer skyscrapers,
the 260-meter pyramid has been the city's most recognizable building for
decades.
The
structure has an unconventional tapered design -- imitating a tree trunk --
that allows natural light and fresh air to trickle down to adjacent streets.
Without
obstructing much of the tranquil neighborhood, this slender style, together
with the earthquake-safe design, allowed the building to get around strict
building laws in the city, reaching a height unfamiliar to San Francisco
Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship.
