Chris Pratt destroys gorgeous, historic mid-century modern house to build a gaudy mansion

Paging @NukeML

Motion to nominate “anything involving architecture” for inclusion in The List

(as an aside, it’s kind of a known animal at this point that public-facing architectural decisions have become some weird flash-point in a larger, (sometimes MAGA and QAnon adjacent) and intentionally fanned cultural-flame war (see also Tartaria nonsense)). IMHO, that’s not specifically what tends to go on here at BB, but it is related to the intensity of rhetoric that tends to surround the topic that it has become weaponized - particularly along the lines of directing ire at supposedly modernist forms.
