Visiting San Francisco for a conference I found myself gravitating here to get away from all the shop talk and have a minute to myself. The resemblance of the imposing building Hotel Des Invalides in Paris, might be part of it, but also its tenacity in the face of earthquakes too.

I loved this building from the ist, it's quirky shape and its glistening white exterior, and was glad whenever I saw it! Since i've been home research has told me the shape was to make it as tall as possibly by confouncing strict laws involving the ratio between the surface area and height of the building!
