Maybe it is the wrong site, too small.
Vertical museums are less interesting.

Changing to KPMB is good, but not bold and architecturally unlikely to be innovative.

Prefab does not work simply because it is a HUGE 30-50% cost premium over conventional construction. That is why it has never been adopted. There is no much duplication of apartment envelope construction, which is structural and expensive. Let's focus on building good housing that is cost effective.

But the church is actually Il Redentore, also by Palladio.

Comeon Dude, you've had a nice summer off. Pitter patter, let's get back at it. Enough is enough.
We NEED you Barney. Let's call it what it is. NEED.
You owe me, us. Owe.
