"City of canals
built its dreams in travertine.
Why not Richardson?"

Today's photo-of-the-day is from the Doge's Palace in Venice, Italy.
"The Doge's Palace is a palace built in Venetian Gothic style, and one of the main landmarks of the city of Venice in northern Italy. The palace included government offices, a jail, and the residence of the Doge of Venice, the elected authority of the former Republic of Venice. It was originally built in 810, rebuilt in 1340 and extended and modified in the following centuries."
Imagine if the new City Hall being built by the City of Richardson had an interior design resembling this. Imagine if the new City Hall being built by the City of Richardson was being built to last a millennium. The last City Hall didn't last 50 years. We live in a throwaway society. That includes our architecture.
