The Transamerica Pyramid Center in San Francisco is opening an exhibition of the recently discovered 1974 time capsule that was recovered from the site last year during its Foster + Partners-led redevelopment. 

Archinect covered the various aspects of the $400 million project, which instigates a much-needed economic recovery phase in downtown San Francisco, back in September. (Foster + Partners is currently seeking to hire an Architect in its Los Angeles office.) 

The exhibition opens on Sunday, May 18th, inside The Annex building on Washington Street.

    I wonder if the Pony Express plaque and the small coast redwood Grove were retained during the renovation?
