The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, designed by architect Mario Botta, is located in the South of Market neighborhood. Botta designed the museum to have a monumental presence in the city center despite its smaller scale compared to the surrounding skyscrapers. The building features imposing brick blocks that create a fortress-like appearance. A 41-meter tall cylindrical skylight floods the central atrium with natural light and provides views from an interior bridge. Stepped sections of the deep floorplan allow light into interior gallery spaces.
