This could have been a really cool reno with a better roof line and some vertical siding that tied in the butresses. Instead, it just looks cheap.
Forget the X-Y offsets. Spawned building on top of church.
Is this another one of those “by law, the addition has to look visibly distinct from the historical structure” renovations?
Same thing that allegedly happened to this one?
Better than just demolishing the church, I guess, but they could have invested a little more into the materials and design and made it blend with the original facade better. Don’t just build a square vinyl box.
there are many churches in Europe who were amputated or completely destroyed by American aerial bombings. Some were hastily rebuilt with cement and these hasty renovations after the WW2 have no architectural or historical value 🤷
I’m guessing this picture isn’t of Europe. There’s a stroad, as well as minivans and SUVs. I would guess this is North America. Probably the US, but that’s just because I believe our neighbors to the north have a bit more class than this monstrosity indicates.
