The Ballroom [View all]

I've searched and cannot find news of a new architect being engaged to draw up the plans for the ballroom.

The last set of drawings were student level schematics. Then he fired the architect.

Has dementia kicked in and he's forgotten about the hole in the ground opposite the West Wing? Have the plans been held up by damned regulations, checks and balances?

Has he found another architect? More pertinent, would any reputable, experienced practitioner or firm take this job on and hope to keep their reputation?
