Lots of illustrations.

A particularly vexing "feature" is that the huge ballroom will jut into and block the deliberately planned line of sight along Pennsylvania Ave. from The Capital to the White House proper. Seems like deliberate symbolism to imply that the Executive branch actions are no longer accountable to the Legislative branch. Grrr.

From the Times article (thanks for the gifted link!):

“The ballroom is literally an imposition between two branches of our government,” said David Scott Parker, an architect on the board of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and one of more than 30,000 people who wrote to the planning commission objecting to the building.
