MMeM, Vol. 4 Issue 1

Midwestern Meditations eMagazine presents…

Horrible mis-steps in architecture.

Specifically, when builders try to incorporate the modern with the old and get it completely wrong.

Item #1

Mmmm…K.

So, what we have here are two houses that have been, well, “joined”. I’m sure that building permits and zoning laws were no problem with this configuration.

My only question is, do we now have one big house or three? Builders: You’re doing it wrong.

Item #2

Now, I truly love this one. The modern day pole-barn is already such a highly regarded structure. So to mold it around a late 19th century stone-built train depot has to be a “win-win”, no?

Item #3

…and

wait for it…

CHECKMATE.

For those of you who don’t know, this WAS Chicago’s famous Soldier Field. Now, it is the site of the latest sighting and apparently landing of a UFO.
