Completed in 1995, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (also known as SFMOMA) marks the first time Mario Botta designed a building in the United States. It became an instant architectural landmark in the city of San Francisco. The simple geometry belies a thoroughly detailed brick façade with a monumental atrium extending the height of the building and topped with Botta s signature zebra striped tower. The gallery spaces seamlessly interact with the atrium, drawing the visitor ever higher. At the top of the atrium a sky bridge connects the galleries to a roof deck which will eventually house a roof garden, scheduled for completion in 2009.
