There’s some justice after all.
The $1.7 trillion spending bill names things after the D.C. swamp creatures passing it. That includes Pelosi. From this day henceforth, the San Francisco Federal Building (that is its name) will be named the Speaker Nancy Pelosi Federal Building.
The San Francisco Federal Building is the ugly thing blotting the skyline that architects love and everyone else hates.
It was so despised that it was featured in the Trump presidential order calling for a return to classical architecture.
“For example, GSA selected an architect to design the San Francisco Federal Building who describes his designs as “art-for-art’s-sake” architecture, intended primarily for architects to appreciate. While elite architects praised the resulting building, many San Franciscans consider it one of the ugliest structures in their city.”
Which it is.
Now the ugliest building in San Francisco will be named after the ugliest politician in D.C.

was that before surgery or after?
maybe a nip and tuck like its namesake
I can almost see the resemblance. I little poop on the sidewalk and it would be uncanny.
Looks like some kind of hazardous materiel handling facility.
Haha. It looks like a piece of it fell.
I see the roof line slopes up like drawn on eyebrows.

The old architectural school of “let’s toss in every ugly, incoherent design element we can think of.”
Trump was right again. There’s an psychological impact architecture. When people live in government housing that looks like this:
And stand in line to get their government benefits at places like this:
They are intentionally controlled by government to keep them dependent on government and they continue to vote for Democrats. How is this any different than housing in former East Germany?
Picture of public housing and the federal building are from Chicago. By the way, the solution isn’t better public housing or grandiose federal building. It’s no public housing and significantly fewer and smaller federal buildings that have classical architectures the evoke trust. This requires a complete repudiation of post modern and Marxist ideology. (yes, know that post modernism and Marxism are contradictory, but Democrats don’t.)
It would be more appropriate to name a federal building after fallen soldiers instead of politicians. I understand Presidents but politicians is a bridge too far for me.
“There’s a fire in the landing bay, Han!”
Maybe the hole can be known as Nancy’s Speaker.
It must be sagging.
Would it cost more to make a building that’s not hideous? They make buildings like this on purpose because they hate beauty .
The Piglosi Building in Downtown San Francisco.
When is it supposed to be finished?
It is hideous, just like the crazed former speaker.
Some of it is that they give Architects complete freedom. As a building contractor for 50 years I had many friends that were in that field but also knew a lot of idiots.
Fitting.
The four protruding windows made me think of window a/c units at first glance.
Looks like a jail, not an office building.
