Recently revealed Barack Obama facts showed a time when the former U.S. President gave critical feedback to the architects behind his Foundation's structure. Architects Tod Williams and Billie Tsien where in charge of coming up with the architectural plans for the Presidential library.
Although the former U.S. President was quite reserved and conservative in the way he approaches certain things. However, a part of these Barack Obama facts revealed that his taste in architectural design isn't that conservative at all.
According to Archinect, Obama had some critical feedback for their initial design plans for the Obama Foundation's presidential library. The former President found Williams and Tsien's initial designs as "too unflashy."
While the former U.S. President knew about the tendencies of the chosen architects to be "sort of quiet" with their designs, he wasn't digging their architectural plans. Obama described the first Presidential Library plans as "a little too quiet" for his tastes.
Of course we can't always expect the cool, calm and collected Obama to remain the same when it comes to design. These Barack Obama facts show that the former President has a "flashy" side as well.
As for Obama himself, he's enjoying post-presidency life the best way he can. According to HuffingtonPost, the former President just came home fresh from his vacation in Palm Springs, California.
Another Barack Obama fact is that, some people don't even notice him while he's among civilians. The source mentioned that some audience at the American Airlines theater didn't even noticed the former President when he was watching the Broadway show with them.
From being a chameleon among crowds to having a flashy taste in design, Obama is certainly filled with surprises. Overall, these Barack Obama facts just show that there's more to the former U.S. President than what meets the eye.
