When human beings reach for the divine, they are capable of impossible works of beauty.
It’s amazing the wealth that can be extracted from poor working people
Unfortunately, ugly acts tend to fund such beautiful objects.
Meh. Overdone.
Only in Paris do the restaurants look like museums.
Vienna kindly disagrees
And a beerhouse in Bucharest-Romania...
Unless it's the Philharmonic Dining Rooms in Liverpool
Uhmmm, are you absolutely sure, my dearest? Because in Spain....

This is Caffè Gambrinus in Naples
No.
And in Budapest.
Do you think all parisians could visit restaurants like these when they were built back in the day? Only a few lived in this ideal world you love.It is this way even today.
Still looks like a bordello designed by Donald Trump.
More is more.
All I ask is that we build ceilings like this again.
If architecture is frozen music, then Siena is a symphony.
When it comes to architecture, more is more.
Imagine witnessing this and not wanting desperately to build more of it.

This is a hotel in Mexico City.Here's why it is aptly named the "City of Palaces"
When German geographer Alexander von Humboldt visited in the early 1800s, he christened it the "City of Palaces". He even sent a letter home saying Mexico City could rival any major city in Europe.
The city is home to an enviable number of ornate palaces, in large part due to an explosion of neoclassical and Baroque residences built by wealthy Spanish nobles and encouraged by the Crown in the 18th century.
Does humanity have any greater architectural legacy than the Gothic cathedrals of Europe?
What's the point when Europe was constantly engulfed in war?
Yeah, Pizza Huts
More whites should be involved in classical music. Larouche used to say that if one does not have a classical education, one is uneducated. White learning spaces should be baroque and classical spaces.
Would just say to white youth. Your life would have looked like this in a real white country.
As you listen to classical music, I want white youth to think of all the times some black or brown told you that whites have no culture
he Taj Mahal Hotel was commissioned by Jamsetji Tata and opened its doors to guests on 16 December 1903.An oft-repeated story concerning the reasoning behind the construction of the hotel was Tata being refused admission into Watson's Hotel, as it was reserved for Europeans. However, the validity of this has been challenged by writer Charles Allen, who wrote that Tata was unlikely to care about such a slight to the extent that he would construct a new hotel. Instead, Allen writes, the Taj was built at the urging of editor of The Times of India who felt a hotel "worthy of Bombay" was needed and as a "gift to the city he loved" by Tata.[3]The original Indian architects were Sitaram Khanderao Vaidya and D. N. Mirza, and the project was completed by an English engineer, W. A. Chambers. The builder was Khansaheb Sorabji Ruttonji Contractor, who also designed and built its famous central floating staircase. The cost of construction was £250,000 (£127 million in 2008 prices).[4]Originally, the main entrance was on the land-facing side, where the pool now sits.[5]The original clientele were mainly the Europeans, the Maharajas and the social elites. Many world-renowned personalities from all fields have since stayed there, from Somerset Maugham and Duke Ellington to Lord Mountbatten and Bill Clinton.
