HecticArt Wonderful Architecture Work

Fun video!
Way back in the 90's when I was traveling through Europe, we went through Italy. We wanted to hit Pisa, but the whole thing was behind scaffolding while they were doing some of the work they talked about in the video. (I think half of the cool stuff in Europe is behind scaffolding.)
We decided to hit Pompeii instead.
 
It's like the Old Man in the Mountain in NH. They had wires keeping it from collapsing, but eventually it still came crashing down.

Gravity....Am I right people? :rolleyes:
There's a thread for that
 
I believe another renowned architect has died. The headline says he "passed away" but I think that means the same thing as "died." Among the many buildings Cobb helped design are the Hyatt Center in Chicago, the John Hancock Tower in Boston, the ARCO Tower in Dallas, Pitney Bowes World Headquarters in Stamford and the World Trade Centers in Baltimore and Barcelona.

Henry Cobb, the architect behind some of America's most iconic skyscrapers, has passed away

 
Cobb was pretty good. Second.
Oh....wrong thread....... It's probably better to talk about it here than there anyway.
 
Tom Brady's mansion in Brookline, Massachusetts, went on the market in August. The price has just been reduced from $39,500,000 to $33,900,000. What a bargain! I don't know how much it cost originally but I'm sure Brady paid a bunch.

It's got an insane amount of land for having a direct view of downtown Boston, but I don't know who needs all that.
 
Hectic, I'm willing to relocate to Boston if you want to move DRC headquarters to Brady's house. My family and I will only occupy one wing. Let's act quickly before someone steals this opportunity from us.
