The new design for One Van Ness, which will rise 37 stories at the intersection of Van Ness Avenue and Market Street, is the work of Snøhetta [...].
A journalist and illustrator, Susie Cagle tells me in an email that she covered San Francisco real estate in 2008, and the Snøhetta project reminds her of ambitious residential projects planned for Market Street that never happened. "I think it's a place where dense construction makes sense," she says.

So photoshop scribbles and a few tweets are "architectural critique?" Maybe to douches like the author. I can't stand Citylab or Kriston Capps. Something about it/him is way smarmy and insincere. Typical hipster critique I guess, never seen an article that praises any building, but I hope you like heavy doses of identity politics in the form of "urban journalism." Cynical.
Van Ness + Market will never be the same w/o the old donut shop - the Twitterati and Google heads will move into the big new tower and pay 4K/month for 500SF studios.
FWIW:
"...the new design for the tower has been driven by SCB with Snøhetta focusing on the design of the proposed plaza below."
