  2. It's the lobby of the Ordway building, at 1 Kaiser Plaza. I really miss modernism.

  3. Love it! This is one of my favorite building lobbies in the entire Bay Area: Built in 1972 for Kaiser Aluminum and designed by SOM. Note that the entire lobby is clad and detailed in various alloys of aluminum. Thanks for sharing.
