It is said that we "Germans" work only 35 h/w and are still able to perform.
What a joke! The 35 are wrong but the rest is correct.
I'm over 40 years in business and hardly ever had worked less than 40 h/w. Record were 70+ when…"
Golden Gate Plaza
Golden Gate Plaza
PGA worked with structural and waterproofing engineers to improve the sightlines, security and sustainability of a multi-level plaza in San Francisco. The design included plant species suitable for extreme conditions of wind and fog, as well as windscreens and site features that will improve the park’s appeal.

Albert is right, the original plaza was designed as part of a competition (I believe it was done/won by Jared Della Valle and Andy Bernheimer). The plaza needed additional work because of leaking issues into the garage below, and PGA stepped in to resolve those issues and do the re-design.
I believe that people don't congregate there much is because the site is extremely windy. One of our people once got sprayed with coffee walking thirty feet behind someone else (drinking coffee) along the street.

Context, context, context, no one uses that space because your under 24 hour surveillance. The neighborhood surrounding this building is sketchy at best. All the hard sharp lines is meant to keep people moving, don't settle. Pretty PGA wasn't the original designers, cant remember who was.
