I think that Louis XVI would *really* like the ballroom (if it ever gets built). Its *quite* the abomination. Do YOU think its $400 MILLION well spent?
Definitely striking! I'm a fan of Brutalist architecture as you probably know by now! [grin] I wonder if they'll rebuild the East Wing if the ballroom doesn't actually get built?

ReplyDeleteAt least he didn't destroy decades of work by others. And I personally think it's quite interesting.
