Â This building's exterior is covered in quartz, giving it a white color. Â It's two so-called "wings" that emerge after the 29th floor were necessitated to house elevator shafts, and its original design shape was motivated by a shadow restriction law that necessitated a surface area to height ratio. Â Designed by William Pereira, its height was limited in order to preserve views of the sea from (*) Nob Hill, and its 48th floor conference room gives a panoramic view of San Francisco. Â For 10 points, name this skyscraper designed for an insurance company with a pointed shape evocative of an Egyptian funerary building.
