A new museum in San Francisco's Presidio

Should Gap founder Don Fisher build a museum for his modern art collection in the Presidio?  Jimmy Stamp at Life Without Buildings looks to sci-fi for an answer.

It seems that at some point in this alternate history, San Francisco's preservationists eventually conceded defeat. An "air tram station" boldly looks out over the Golden Gate Bridge and SF Bay. A softer mix of Brutalism and basic curvy sci-fi movie architecture. Ideal? No. But definitely an improvement over the current faux-historic designs mandated by overly-vocal and underly-visionary individuals, committees and trusts.
