For his Masters thesis Mr. Temchine studied the "failed" UN PLaza in San Francisco and the effect it has had on the space it was designed for, over the years. Though Mr. Temchine acknowledges that city planners hated the plaza before it was installed, he does not allow them to be correct. Instead, he focuses on the plaza's place in the city's heart and minds, its effect on the homeless problem of SF, and the philosophy of city design. He also touches on the hopeless attempts to revive the plaza speckled with remarks from the many personalities involved. Very interesting, even to a non-SF resident.
