Ah yes, let’s cover up the beauty with ceiling tiles

What am I looking at?

It’s not done just to modernize the space, drop ceilings can reduce the overall volume of space that needs to be heated/cooled, as well as offering places to hang lighting fixtures.

"Modernize" == "Uglify"

I would rather have a drop ceiling above me than worry about plaster falling on my head, which is what will eventually happen to the original ceiling. Modern = practical

I was in Greece in an amazing little town called Koroni and there was a huge Venetian battlement that had collapsed due to hydrostatic pressure over the centuries. A huge chunk of the 2 meter thick wall was near a walkway. Looking at the contents of the interior wall I could see they had used Ancient Greek carved stone as “fill” in the battlement wall. It blew my mind. “Time is a flat circle”

Holy shit! Agh!

Pretty wild

Don't spoil it with the obvious answer.

It’s only obvious to people who work in the industry and judging by the replies, clearly no one in this thread does.🤣
