@simon As Frank Lloyd Wright said, "form and function should be one, joined in a spiritual union."

@simon my spouse is an architectural engineer and people are LOSING THEIR MINDS about this today

@simon that's great.

In a weird turn of affairs, I spent several years frequently traveling to England for work. National Gallery was one of my places to stagger around after arrival trying to overcome jetlag. Wonderful place. And yes, those columns were really stupid.

@simon Haha, I love it! :D

@simon this reminded me of the "I told you so" labels I left on the bottoms of some lightning fried network switches at a job years past.

I hope someone found those and quit on the spot 😁

@simon That’s Great!

I love this! A shame the author passed in 2022 — so close to seeing the letter discovered.
