Yes , and also we can say here that visually there are a lot of altered tubes.Probably easier to replace the lot than test them where they are replacing as you go. The heat may have wrecked them without altering them visually at all.

This is a joke, right? You just threw them together in a photoshop in 5 minutes. Right?
All of you! If those are actual sketches from actual architects... I'm speechless.Him or me?

As I look on the sketches, I just can't avoid the feeling that they would rather demolish it entirely and build something new instead.
