In compiling his list of the top 10 in new SF architecture for the aughts, Chronicle architecture critic John King makes the glaring omission of the Morphosis-designed Federal Building at 7th and Mission. Say what you will about it, but we think it's an innovative and gorgeous piece of architecture, and a game-changer in green office-tower design. Back in November, Curbed listed the building as their #4 of the decade, and just in March of this year, King himself called it "San Francisco's coolest building."

While we agree with the choices of the J.P. Morgan/Chase building at 560 Mission, designed by Cesar Pelli, and the deYoung Museum, it seems like an obvious slight to leave off the Federal Building, which is easily one of the most (if not the most) prominent pieces of public architecture built in the last decade in the country. What gives, King? Really? Pier 14? Mission Creek Park? Wtvr.
