Modern and Postmodern High-Rises, San Francisco
San Francisco reveals a dynamic blend of architectural styles in this urban streetscape. The image captures a mix of curtain-wall glass façades and textured masonry towers rising into clear blue skies. The central stepped tower draws the eye with its postmodern symmetry and varied surface detailing, while surrounding buildings offer contrasting grids and curves. A broad staircase in the foreground leads up to a lush pocket park, adding greenery to the dense urban core. Framed by pedestrians and mid-rise structures, the composition reflects the city’s evolving architectural identity—where modern development and human scale meet on steep, storied streets.
