In the UK we don't have attorneys we have lawyers and we don't call them 'Esquire'

The United Kingdom also has barristers, silks and solicitors all ttles of people who are 'practising' law. Wonder why they are only permitted to practice, same as doctors and members of parliament and councillors who hold 'surgeries'. The spells are manifest in this language.
Nearly forgot the UK government also has an Attorney General!

The name Gandy and the name Ghandi sound exactly the same n English pro nunciaton, cannot be a coinicendence but the significance escapes me.
Did Gandy with a Y ever visit these ruins in the flesh or ws he copying/viewing other artists work be they painting of drawings?
The private asylum solution is an odd one. Seems he must have been of a certain class to have the family pay for his incarceration as private asylums were either profitable ventures or were funded by the aristocrcy for the aristocracy who 'lost it' a bit. The Queen Mother Elizabeth Bowes Lyon had one of her sisters/cousins put away in a 'private institution' for a reason that escapes me just now but the process feels the same as Gandy's.

"Perhaps his best known work is shown in the Phoenix and Pelican Insurance Offices"

Two birds that are deeply connected with freemasonry, but in esoteric enough manner that they would only be recognized by people who are familiar with the group already?

Probably a coincidence.

Nahhh definitely not a coincidence. The Architecture of Joseph Michael Gandy (1771-1843) and Sir John Soane (1753-1837): An Exploration Into the Masonic and Occult Imagination of the Late Enlightenment

did you check it out? I get sucked in for an hour or two when I start sleuthing all the links and follow the money and then I get into history searches oh my

On Gandy
I looked everywhere to find out how the Soane buildings were destroyed in the first place I found this picture its very confusing

Destroyed Soane Bank ? cant post the pic

NOTES: This photograph comes from the Francis William Troup archive held at the RIBA Library. Troup was a consultant architect to the Bank of England and prepared designs for the rebuilding of the Threadneedle site in 1920. The commission was given to Sir Herbert Baker in 1921 with whom Troup worked initially as supervising architect. The bank buildings enlarged by Sir John Soane between 1788 and 1833 were almost completely demolished save the outer walls. Demolition on the buildings began in 1925 to make way for Herbert's new complex which was completed in 1939.

It was the Guardian, no less, that most hurt Gandy. Reviewing his drawings of palaces at the 1821 exhibition, its critic said that anyone who proposed such "imaginative, impossible" project was not an architect but an illustrator. Gandy wrote five angry letters to the newspaper, the only time he put his ideas into words. Why should he not show the public the possibilities of architecture? Their imaginative horizons had been lowered by the drudgery of living in a city of commercial development. But London was the richest city in the world, the home of war heroes and great thinkers. Its architecture should reflect that.

In the 1820s he exhibited design after design of a royal palace to be built in Hyde Park at a cost of £3,000,000. It was not so much a residence for George IV as a temple for the British Empire. The drawings are dated "AD 2500": society - and Gandy - would be judged by posterity.

No, not yet but not because I don't want to. I have to try to save the world first. I can't get back to home if they blow the world up so I have to prioritize what's required over what I'd rather do. Suck's huh? Anyways the moon isn't that great. Mars is OK though. Here's a snapshot from our other saucer, Iron Blücher. I might be wrong though, this could be a snapshot of Greenland or possibly Antarctica but I don't see any pyramids.

That photo is dated 1926 and is a demolition. It took over ten years to demolish it apparently. Here's a raft demolition images.

fantastic! looks like it just keeps on going underground Does it seem like that to you?

also This guy Soane was no joke a death obsessed fanatical worshiper of antiquated architecture and art stuff in general . I think I posted some remarks about him on the Recognition's Bank of England thread.
In studying up on his life and career he seems to be another one of those guys with an impossible history got his first great commissions in his early twenties < seems kinda crazy for a high accuracy super mathy job like architect where you have to know so many different materials and all their properties and how to combine them and oh so many things . But in his case it's hey you're likely looking lad. wanna build a some state buildings??
He seems to have had some sort of 'never fail" blessing of the Gods on his career and was almost deified in his life as far his standing among architects of his day. Yet they couldn't wait to destroy this 'great ' building of his. Staring the plans seemingly before his grave is even cold .

I don't have any idea why this particular story keeps pulling me in but does, so I post

I wonder. why it is so important for them to demolish all the underground part of the building, if they want only build a new one...

This desire to want to erase everything, is highly suspicious .
It reminds me of when my company was bought by another larger one.
Every memory of past management has been annihilated.
I believe it is a problem of incompatibility of values between past and present ones.

So here I am wondering what incompatible values are.
It makes me think that past technology was capable of being sophisticated, without the need to find external resources outside a certain country.
This is a model totally incompatible with today's one, where we are all interconnected.
It would make plausible to me the idea of a great Tartary, who could be perfectly well alone, cohabiting with the rest of the world relatively backward.
