Pelli is really your least favorite architect? Try researching to see who designed some of the truly ugly buildings here and elsewhere. In the meantime, here's a shot of Pelli's Gran Torre Santiago that I recently took in Chile. At 984', it is Latin America's tallest building.

Yeah he basically took a shittier version of that building and put it here. If we got that Santiago building, then I'd be ecstatic. The Salesforce Tower design is humiliating for the entire city. I guarantee you it will be the butt of jokes for decades to come. 'Oh haha San Francisco put up a giant penis shaped building!'
