Architecture studio Opposite Office has caused controversy by envisioning fortifying the US Capitol building in Washington DC.
Named Capitol Castle, the concept was created in reaction to the invasion of the building by Donald Trump supporters last week.
"During his reign, Trump undermined the democratic system from within," said Opposite Office founder Benedikt Hartl. "To give expression to this drama, we remodelled the Capitol and built a fortress around it."
"A Trump wall that would finally make sense"
Readers are undecided. "A fortress around the Capitol is the exact opposite of democracy," said S.P. "Terrible idea." Alfred Hitchcock agreed: "Ironic" If so, it's really unfunny. Five people needlessly died there last week. It's just self-promotional idiocy. It will probably have the opposite effect and create a backlash."
"I don't see any devices or where-with-all to dump hot boiling oil on the revolting peasants!" joked Apsco Radiales. "The architect must have failed European Medieval History class."
"A Trump wall that would finally make sense," concluded Cezary Marek.
