Instead of joining in on the argument here, I'll just add the the SF Federal Building itself is somewhat architecturally interesting and contentious.

Here's an initial review: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/new-federal-building-...

And a reappraisal: https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/10-years-later-f...

I believe this building is one of many commissionned under the GSA's design excellence program, which has produced a really adventurous range of buildings by American architects across the country: https://www.gsa.gov/real-estate/design-and-construction/desi...

Finally, the building was designed by the lead architect named Thom Mayne. Of his other work, Id also recommend the Caltrans district headquarters in LA: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltrans_District_7_Headquar... Love it or hate it, I think all can agree that this is stimulating architecture compared to most office buildings.
