The ballroom image looks like someone slapped a suburban convention center onto the White House.

The proportions are way off, and it completely ruins the architectural balance that makes the original so iconic.

Not for me, anyway.👇

Former RBC bank building blends historic character with modern luxury. Extensively renovated, showcasing beautifully restored architectural features throughout. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Riverdale history, perfectly suited for residential or live/work.

While exploring which architectural style I could newly challenge myself with,
a Nepalese-style temple felt refreshing to me.
I also hadn’t really seen many background artists deal with it.
So I decided to give it a try — a reckless choice of a beginner.

Might not be a bad idea to start complaining to the architectural and engineering professional organizations in the area and get them to denounce the thing.

In ten years, twenty dollar bills are going to have the architectural equivalent of this printed on them.

Cyclists pedaling against the wind inside a tunnel — for years, that image defined Ventur’s public reputation. Yet the wind tunnel @tue.nl was originally designed to address architectural and urban challenges. That goal is now being realized more and more.

Further, were there any attempts to preserve architectural or design artifacts that capture the spirit of the East Wing? Those would have been good additions to the Museum of the White House (if such a thing exists) or the National Building Museum (a record of desecration, to be sure).

So do they have actual, complete architectural plans, or just some Midjourney concept art?

“The new White House State Ballroom will be “substantially separated” from the main portion of the White House, but will be designed in the same architectural style as the rest of the structure. It will be built off of the East Wing, which was first constructed in 1902.”

Shall I give you an example?
I also went through European medieval architecture (I studied the Gothic style), and for this small project, I got to choose which architectural style I would work with. This time, I wanted to build a Nepalese temple on top of a mountain.

Of course...Trump will have to. The rest of the Whitehouse has to match the architectural theme of the ballroom.

Under threat: Musselburgh’s Brunton Halls — a modern Scottish architectural landmark — faces demolition after dangerous RAAC was found in its roof.

But this material issue shouldn’t erase an architectural masterpiece.

They were adopted as an architectural decoration as well, so you’ll see festoons carved into marble and other stonework.

'Donald Trump’s dismantling of parts of the White House’s East Wing to make way for a gargantuan $250 million ballroom — without any forethought or architectural approvals — has been cited by critics as a metaphor for what he is doing to American democracy'
