We carved this. Proved it could be done. And I’m going to keep posting it until someone commissions a new building that’s as grand.

Little known fact: our head of manufacturing is the guy who made those fiberglass panels fit together so seamlessly.
Thankfully the Lucas museum went to Los Angeles where you can experiment. For all of its ‘progressive’ rhetoric, the Bay Area is not a very open minded place. And culturally it’s generally quite conservative, especially when it comes to architecture.

There are still people with ambition who make incredible things. Just want to give these people the ability to do something crazy in stone.

You may be wondering, dear reader, how a NY developer is making a structural stone play.
For a hundred years, the way we build has been going backwards. Cheaper, flatter, more forgettable. Our cities are filling with buildings nobody will miss. Until now. Introducing The Building Arts Company.

The AI is out of control. It just milled a Stanford Bunny. Alignment team investigating. Need safeguards against autonomous sculpture production.

Every company should probably put 100% of their marketing budget into marble statues.

You’ve been psyoped to think capitals must look a certain way. Foreign elements (Palladio, École des Beaux-Arts) and internal (Jefferson, Burnham) involved.

Contention from the comments is that the new school must have vastly superior, light-filled interiors. So I did some research. And it's sickening. The hatred I would feel towards everyone who set me up in the space to learn is unimaginable. qns.com/2026/09/construction…

More NYC public school buildings from the golden age. Most of the greats are the work of C.B.J. Snyder, Superintendent of School Buildings form 1891 to 1923. These were buildings for training citizens. For many children, perhaps the one dignified building in their lives.
