Architectural Research Project and Presentation

My favorite building from the architectural research presentation was the San Francisco Federal Building. I thought it was great how they were trying to integrate a very "green" office space into an area of San Francisco that city planners wanted to revitalize. The building had a very unique design, and ran extremely efficient. An idea I also found very interesting was the fact that the elevators only stopped on every 3 floors in order to promote employee health and interaction. An idea as simple as this really could help improve the quality of life for many of its employees.
