For half a century, the building's redwood-planted pocket park was the only part of the behemoth open to the public; that all changes this week, when the Pyramid and its Redwood Park debut as a reimagined center for arts, culture, and community gathering.
A big part of the renovation was modernizing it, stripping it out, and giving it back to the public...the building's ground floor is now open and light-filled, flanked by a coffee bar on one side, a flower and gift shop on the other.
Under the trees in the adjacent Transamerica Redwood Park, stags, rhinoceri, sheep and almost two dozen other fantastical fauna by French artists Claude and Francois-Xavier Lalanne prowl, marking the first public installation of Pyramid Arts.
The Vertical City will launch with an exhibition of Pritzker Prize Laureate Lord Norman Foster's architectural achievements on September 15th, expanding the Pyramid Arts program.
