How many layers of loving up are we looking at here? I'm sure some sort of miscommunication between the designer and the builder and probably whoever did the measurements, but even as a layman I think this should have been caught a dozen times over before the building was done.

I always cut the level designers/artists/modelers some slack when I see an occasional floating rock or tree.

That's one of those images that takes my brain a second to parse. At first I thought the columns went to the ground but were intersecting a step and a flower bed. Then I thought I was having a stroke.

I needed the reflection to understand what was going on because surely that couldn't have been what it was.

Well, I'm old & all. I'm still not seeing anything but a photoshop of a couple of pillars. Or I'm also having a stroke.

It doesn't help that the picture was taken at Mindfuck O'Clock. All in shadow with flat lighting so there's no shadows to help you orient those loving pillars. I mean, that overhang is surely cantilevered to hell and back, so any pillars would be purely decorative, but I can't figure out how the builder got final sign-off from the client.

Aren't all pillars and columns just posts clad in whatever decorative non-structural cladding these days? Nothing is solid so only the central 30% or whatever has to be anchored.

Licensed Architect MC Escher. There had to be an engineer who necessitated that the columns don't connect to the ground, meaning a solid connection. Then someone took that too far, or detailed it in the architectural sheets with a given dimension that didn't line up with the Civil elevation for the sidewalk at that point, and then someone took it all as gospel and didn't correct it for the intent, either out of incompetence or spite.

Christopher Wren is still alive, I see. but apparently the story about him purposely shortening the columns he was forced to put in the Windsor Guildhall is just a legend

Yo I don't think that's what they meant when they said the design called for floating columns

Argon isn’t air. Air isn’t bearing any load there. (And the specific gravity of 1.39 argon is correct… relative to air itself, a thousand times less dense than water, which I assume is the joke.)

 94 year old theater roof collapse. quote:Heffron said the cause of the collapse is unknown at this time, but it’s believed there was a buildup in the gutters, which prevented water from draining, adding weight to the roof. And if the damage from the roof wasn’t enough, pressure from the roof collapsing pushed the back doors open.
