Hey, Scientology, Andrew Ryan called. He wants his architectural plans back.
The [Village] Voice has obtained hundreds of new renderings of Scientology's Super Power Building in Clearwater, Florida, as well as a comprehensive collection of its architectural drawings.

"The surety she has in her beliefs was fascinating," he said. "She almost spoke like a super villain, like Dr Doom."
