more commentsSo much effort spent on the original structure for what? Is this what society has to offer as its contribution to a better world? I can appreciate the effort expended to make it “accessible” the the common man, but really, to what end? This is no different than the Sigfried/Mangenau Line, SAC, the Soviet counter-parts to Cold-war stupidity. Is this all that we can leave for future generations? Maybe it’s time for the human race to become extinct, if we’ve not already.

This draws you in and creates such emotion. A gut feeling.
Pura inteligencia conceptual. Maravillosa ejecución artística.
Amazing!!! Reminds me of Gordon Matta Clark!
