Perhaps some fire retardant added to the wood might be in order but yes, build it the same.I've been wondering what's going on with that.
It's not surprise that people are fighting over the design and rebuilding of it.
I'm pretty much a modernist, but I think that I/d rather see them rebuild it pretty much like it was. I don't think it needs to be an exact replica, but something sympathetic to it seems right.
They were working on upgrades when the fire happened. It would be ironic if that was one of the upgrades being done that ultimately started the fire.That is typical for new wood construction. They can do that with old wood too, but I'm not sure how good it is.
Steel is probable more cost effective to rebuild. I'm sure that they will have a sprinkler system next time.
They could have installed a sprinkler in the old one before it burned down, and it would have saved everyone a lot of money and aggravation.
Another architect has died! If this keeps up, Mister Hectic could be the "last architect standing."

Dig. It's a big painted shoebox.
Not much going on architecturally. It's all about the paint job.
