    Sounds like a recipe for disaster

    Should buildings specifically designed to be temporary be included here? Wasn’t this thing pretty much paper mache?

    Have the TaRtArIaNaRcHiTeCtUrE clowns posted this one yet?

    Any pictures of it being constructed? The surrounding areas before construction? Since it is supposedly built to be temporary.

    I fully believe the story that all of these were constructed in the horse and buggy days, and cheap labor was able to create these giant structures made of ornate granite and marble resources.

    Except for the ones that are "paper mache", that for some reason leave real structures behind after being demolished like the old San Fran exhibit

    Holy shit, that is magnificent. Why do humans desire to destroy beauty so much, when will this barbarity end? I’m assuming that’s a Art Nouveau style building, man what an amazing architecture style.
