It reminds me of a statehouse/courthouse. I kind of like it, but for entirely different reasons than the one in the OP.
It absolutely looks like some kind of courthouse, or just in general the kind of building the US government would make for official business.
In a bad way, imo. I can see why someone would like it, but it's always struck me as kind of weird. Like it's trying to imitate Greek or Roman architecture and not doing a very good job, or something.
If you wanna use big boy words you could call it architecturally illiterate. It's trying to imitate a style with no knowledge of how you're supposed to do that. It's a bunch of architectural elements haphazardly thrown around with no underlying structure or methodology. There's over 1000 years of literature written about classical architecture, I'd suggest anyone designing these buildings read up on some of it lest they churn out something like this monstrosity. Of course the people churning out these designs don't give a shit about doing it right, they just take all these styles and mix them before dumbing it down to the cursed American suburban "style" and slap it on whatever. They probably went to a firm that usually designs generic office buildings and asked them to make it "old looking".
It's a cheap imitation that cannot compare to the buildings it's supposed to resemble.
I'd appreciate modern classical buildings designed by people who actually know what the fuck they're doing.
Was this Q related? I know they have some theories about the Catholic Church
I mean, is it a theory or a well established fact that the Roman Catholic Church engages in protecting pedos
Not a papist Cathedral, alas, episcopal. I would prefer to see the war on Christmas won with calendar reform that eliminates the date itself, as discussed in the League of Nations.
