Comments (32)I mis-spoke. Gehry is a deconstructivist. The 1973 Robarts Library in downtown Toronto is a brutalist masterpiece, though now marred by a recent glasshouse thing on one side.Robarts Library expansion.

Comments (5)It's not a dumb idea, but I suggest that you think about your goals. Do you want a quick and inexpensive fix? Do you want something that's going to pass the time test, i.e., more than five years? Faux beams could solve your problem, but they could also call attention to the problem if they look "faux," i.e., don't fit with your home's architecture or structural layout. You may need to consult with a professional designer for input, to help you make informed decisions about what to do. Good luck!...See MoreFaux exterior beam in brick
Comments (8)The three beams are an attractive feature on your MCM home. Why would you think they are faux? Even if the one over the garage is faux to match the others on your home which I do not think are fake, the only way to cover the missing area is to reside or rebrick. They are part of the structure of your home. Can you describe your goal for the overall appearance of the home so that we can advise you accordingly?...See MoreVirgil Carter Fine Art
