I spent this past summer living in San Francisco so I got to experience a different type of architecture living around there. The Palace of Fine Arts is one building in particular that stood out to me. The palace was designed by Bernard Maybeck, a well-known California architect. He designed the palace to resemble a Roman ruin, which he achieved by the detailed human art sketches and rounded dome. Standing in the middle of this palace and looking up felt amazing. The architect did a good job of making it feel open and welcoming, but also extravagant. The last time I visited I came here with friends at 2 AM and danced around with people inside the palace. It was definitely a very memorable experience.
