GARAGE ON OAK HILL CALLED BY BAD TIM
Perplexed about the style of architecture with this garage, I emailed my crony Bad Tim the Architect with the query.
Me: What the hell is this? Tim: It's post-modern. it's a cheap and lazy version of neo-classical, intended to seem whimsical or ironic, but now mostly looking ridiculous.
Oh thanks. I spent years as a child admiring it but now the deal is queered.
