The Transbay Tower will be the tallest building/phallic symbol in San Francisco after receiving final approval by the Planning Commission.
The latest design adds nighttime lighting, allowing it to be a more distinct skyline feature of the city, particularly in the dark.
Sfist.com, a website focused on anything San Francisco, states the obvious. The building’s latest design tweaks, when viewed from a distance look… like a vibrator. When viewing the base, it looks like something else that most would describe officially and politely as phallic or phallus related.
Fred Clarke the architect with Pelli Clarke Pelli, described wanting to create something (buddhist)… or “Zen-like” simple.
Construction would start in 2013 if the developer is able to purchase the land from the Transbay Joint Powers Authority.
