    If still in San Francisco, perhaps the Palace of the Legion of Honour up on the hill. Neo-classical.

    @lauxmyth YES!! I went a few months ago for the first time for an art history paper and it was beautiful. The art and the building itself was just *chefs kiss. Can't wait to go back!

    Welcome to San Francisco, Manuel. What a pleasant surprise, and how lucky that you had some sunny weather for your visit to the Golden Gate Bridge. I’ve lived in SF for 35 years, and, as another person commented, I learned things from you about the bridge that I did not know before. Thanks!

    Thank you Manuel. I'm 3rd generation San Franciscan so I grew up with the bridge. Always just saw it as our bridge, the most beautiful of all suspension bridges... but it never dawned on me that it's Art Deco! I feel kinda foolish, but at the same time grateful. Thank you again! And since you asked... Vaux le Vicomte, the garden especially, and any of the Mughal gardens in Kashmir.

    Thank you! I was, very much, looking forward to your video, when I saw that it was upcoming. I have lived in the Bay Area for over 30 years, have admired this bridge (driven across, ridden a bicycle walked across, and walked across The Golden Gate Bridge, many, many times (when I married my wife, and brought her to this country, one of the first things I did, was to take her to walk across this bridge.)) I have read a lot about the bridge; it’s design,construction, and maintenance. …and still found your video VERY informative! Your photography (videography) was, of course, EXCELLENT, as was your narration (what we are used to from you.) Thank you! Whatever topic (building, structure,… whatever) you feature next, we will look forward to, watch and enjoy!😮

    A century ago Georgia had an architect, Neel Reid, that designed beautiful houses and other buildings. He died at the age of 42. I think you would enjoy researching him.

    Fascinating video! I always think that International Orange was chosen really because it’s complementary to the blue sky and so “goes with it” while looking particularly striking. Just FYI: in English, the style is pronounced _art _*_deh_*_ ko,_ with the stress on the “deh” syllable, _not_ like the English word “indigo” (and not like how you pronounce it in the Spanish version of the video).

    It's a French term, so I pronounced it with the stress in the last syllable like the French do.
