Definitely not the prettiest 😄

Totally agree on public spaces and offices where people work and all that. I just remember something like the core of the argument being A outside/"facade" whatever lol style vs. B style, I was like huh... but its the people inside that make it special.

Like special, special. How you feel driving past the White House or seeing old battlefields. Just a history nerd I suppose, but the old colonial (maybe?) style was always visually striking, just can't help but think there has to be a better way to design these spaces to use minimal environmental controls and save on energy.

I saw this cool off grid housing show once where they dug a small vent like 8ft deep and circulated air through it, and it somehow came out like 55 degrees F, AC temps 😅 So cool!
