You can navigate the picture above

This San Francisco Museum of Modern Art was designed by Mario Botta, where he uses simmetry as method of organization, for the plan and for the exterior building. The main facade is symmetrical and presents a volumetric hierarchy. There is an atrium inside this building for natural light.

When seeing the streetview image above, it seems like the facade can not be enjoyed from near the building, but we have to go to certain distance to see the whole image of the building. There is a gap between two buildings in front of it used as public space where we can see this museum in best view. But not from this streetview by Google  ;)
