well its shure an interesting design and shape but i only gave it 4.5/10. this is because i think that the top looks to bulky and the materials used have aged badly. Maybe re clad it in marble...???

An unusual building in the city but doesn't look quite good enough.

The Transamerica Pyramid distinguishes the already unique and picturesque San Fransisco skyline, a true icon of the bay area as well as one of my favorites.... 9/10

I gave it 9/10 because not only is the design unique and very recognisable for SF but a great looking scraper.

why have I not rated this? Its on my avatar! Its one of my favorite buildings ever because its so unique the way they put the idea of a pyrimid into a skyscraper. also unique, is the 'wings'. where did that Idea come from? idk, but i like the idea anyway, 9.5/10

Edit: it used to be in my avatar, anyway

Iono if there was any, just the planned height of 1,150 ft. I think the design would have been much or less the same. Tho it didn't get trough coz of the city planning commision - supposedly it would block the view from Nob Hill or so.

Nice and interesting design, like a thin and tall version of the Cheops Pyramid in Giza or even the one at Sunway Pyramid! :D

But the building looks old though, are there any plans to clad the Transamerica and "modernize" its facade?

6,5/10 Not that great. Kind of reminds me of that awfull hotel out of use in Pyong Yang/North Korea. Fact is that it is one of the main structures known around the world of SF.
I liked jumping from the building in GTA San Andreas :lol:

I've never been particularly fond of 1970's architecture, and this is a prime example of why. The Transamerica Pyramid is bland, ugly, colorless, and radiates a sense of outdated ideas. This is one of the worst skyscrapers I've ever seen.
