Rectangle of shapes that did hug the streets. I choose to do that when i think of San Francisco i think p of the city on the bay where shapes used to come and still come from all over the world where people sale but its difficult to do a design for the next generation of a building and thats what i tried to do here because there were some features that made infinity successful the curvature panoramic views along the sweeping kufrz of the neighborhood. That was more romantic picturesque and had formed. In looking at this design we sought to capitalize on those things but still do something that was different. But this building a new one weve designed is instead a series of glass place of residence that are rotating about the building and as they climb to the top they reach the top to create a crown while the base is a creative rectangle. At the same time each time this creates a corner view that looks out to the skyline and bay of the city. Its important to see where those two towers si

Prime minister shinzo abe has pledged his administration will make an allout effort to successfully resolve the situation at Fukushima Daiichi. Chief cabinet secretary Yos
