Abstract
- The article discusses the construction of the new Virginia General Assembly Building in Richmond. The old buildings were deemed inadequate, so funding was approved to demolish them and construct a new office building. The architects, Robert A.M. Stern Architects (RAMSA), incorporated the facade of a historic Neoclassical structure into the design of the new building. The facade was stabilized and preserved, and the new building was designed to blend in with the surrounding architecture. The new General Assembly Building features advanced technology and improved functionality for lawmakers and the public. The design strikes a balance between classical and modern elements, creating a timeless landmark for future generations. [Extracted from the article]
