first people ♪ the summer of 2015. this copy choose the project to create lumina. we wanted lumina to work with and compliment infinity which horrify we look forward to him bringing his vision to a new higher standard in san francisco. it's with great pleasure i get to introduce this gentleman (clapping) >> thank you very much. all of you. when i was asked to do this project i had to always think of

my own inaccurate door neighbor that was the first high-rise in san francisco that broke the rectangle of shapes that did hug the streets. i choose to do that when i think of san francisco i think p of the city on the bay where shapes used to come and still come from all over the world where people sale but it's difficult to do a design for the next generation of a building and that's what i tried to do here because there were some features that made infinity successful the curvature panoramic views along

the sweeping kufrz of the neighborhood. that was more romantic picturesque and had formed. in looking at this design we sought to capitalize on those things but still do something that was different. but this building a new one we've designed is instead a series of glass place of residence that are rotating about the building and as they climb to the top they reach the top to create a crown while the base is a creative rectangle.

at the same time each time this creates a corner view that looks out to the skyline and bay of the city. it's important to see where those two towers sit. first their shifted so they don't face each other. there are soft shapes that actually avoid each other and create a large distance between the towers. they sit on a green roof a new park in the sky that creates a setting that looks down to the park. this poumd that holds this park is surround by additional units that are the more urban units

that follow the guy try of the downtown area. and in the center of this new garden there's a multiple level clubhouse imagine around the vertical spice where there's a swooim pool and it's surrounding it and around it are a series of amenity spaces for the resident. light filters from the top of this garden so it creates a heart of the edge of the residential but still faces the street. so ex-what is it it distinguishes the building. it translates into lots of lights inside the unit.

we know that light is a sustainable design. this will allow the buildings p to be light filed and open up the views of san francisco. it is this that makes the name lumina. thank you very much >> thank you. now mayor lee and sherman and the other ceremony

today is majority opinion in the perry case where i live by chief justice roberts and held at the u.s. constitution which governs the appeal to parties that suffer an injury. at the a leaves in place that the fundamental marriage reporters for same sex partners in california have's violated their rights.

this has no place in california but the proponents my office is prepared to litigate cabins any delay equal it for all medical examiners. this is what we've been fighting for in san francisco over the course of 9 years. we've been honored to stand next to the american foundation for equal rights and kate jones and led by ted olsen and they did an absolutely we have job and with the legal team. the marriage of equal it

movement started in massachusetts by when gaffe convenient took on this structural. it's been a long struggle and we're glad it once in a while we'll have the equal marriage here. with that i'll be happy to answer any questions the media has. (clapping) >> the opinion that is there any indication of the courts. >> we did a quick search of the opinion and there's nothing indicated that they would limit the scope of the injunction.

first of all, san francisco was a party so we're bound by the scope of that injunction. he was clear to say that county clerks and others authorizing under the state registrar were bound by the terms of the injunction. the california destruct said that the county clerks for the purposes must act under the authority of the state. it's pretty clear that is statewide and we saw nothing in the supreme courts opinion that it was limited.

they will have about 25 days to filed a petition then it will take a couple of days after that so we anticipate it will be about a month for licenses to be issued. any other questions? >> it's a tremendous victory. we've been fighting this battle for 9 years. we argued early on that the proponents had no stand and this restores equal it. it's a movement and the supreme court made it clear today, we'll have marriage restored here in california and that's good for thousands and thousands of

cancels. we look forward to seeing marriage took place here in california. i want to point out we had a great ruling so this is a wonderful day for the marriage equality. we look forward to make sure that marriage marmgz is restored here in california we continue this battle. and that political debate that changes in the hearts and minds of people in the california ruling we're very, very glad. thanks so much
