I do, however, like the stained-glass gates blocking the Court of Angels. I don't find those to be off-putting. But the new cross-overs / bridges, windows, outside fixtures, etc., all look pretty underwhelming and unimpressive to me. I don't think they blend seamlessly at all. Hopfully the finilization of the work will cure the many visual flaws.

Originally Posted By phruby I'm thinking that too. There must be some kind of pipe or support beam that forced them to move the window over like that.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 For me, it's a little "busy." I think the Carthay Circle does a great job of evoking old elegance while being more understated.
