A thought about the ballroom

[canetoad]

Above are some of the renderings of the building that have been released. Notice anything missing?

In the rendering below there are a couple of people and some furniture added. They are there for a good reason; to give the viewer an idea of the scale of the proposed building. Nearly everyone can relate to the size of an average human. This is standard architectural practice. It makes me think that the scale of the ballroom will completely dwarf surrounding buildings, trees and people.

1. Lordie, that is ALMOST as ugly as the orange creep.

2. No people, for sure.

But wouldn't chairs--and do I see tables--actually count as furniture?

[canetoad]

4. Correct, they do

But I really meant the outdoors drawings. I just happened to find a collection of the renderings all in one pic.

3. The square footage alone (90,000 square feet) tells us it will dwarf the main White House residence (55,000 sq ft)

Hell, the former East Wing, West Wing, and main residence was the approximate size combined of this new disgusting addition. It will cheapen the West Wing--the ONCE People's House.

5. I think that's the point. It will make everything else look small and insignificant.

6. Hitler couldn't draw people either...

One of the reasons he couldn't get into the Art Institute was that his drawings and artwork never had humans in them.

Just sayin'

7. LOL. I appreciate

The comparison. All the CAD programs come with a selection of figures to insert into drawing, no need to lift a pen these days.
