San Francisco’s new deYoung Museum, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, and scheduled to open in 2005, is rising. “The structure of the $200 million city-owned museum, made with 2,122 tons of steel and 2,500 tons of rebar, is nearly complete. In the next few weeks, the twisting concrete tower that will afford panoramic views of the city, the Golden Gate Bridge and the ocean – a nod to the signature tower of the old Spanish-style de Young, demolished 14 months ago – will take shape.”
