The Living Roof
Renzo Piano's masterstroke of design lies in making the park's environment such a visible part of the building itself. The rooftop's seven undulating green hillocks pay homage to the iconic topography of San Francisco and blurs the boundary between building and parkland.

A must visit for fantastic photo opportunities .
Nice place to watch the sunset
The grass looked quite brown but still a great idea.
Ask the guide to explain the layers on the roof. You'll be blown away!
Most important maintenance job? Weeding!
Great views of...c u on top.
Only one elevator goes to the roof, so ask or follow signs.
Nice scenic views ...
