      That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.

      I’m more impressed with the windows. Curving wood and glass can be tricky. I’ve seen a curved door before, but not with curved glass in it.

      Despite the pixelation casting doubts on the materials, it is actually made from real, mortar, wood and glass.

        I always thought I saw supports on the curves other times I saw this but never got the story that it was an art piece and never saw those up close photos.

        Man there is so much little clever things going on in that to make it so perfect. It’s all perfect and bent and yet has structural supports all over the place. It’s even braced at the bottom to make sure it doesn’t actually try to slide down.

        Gorgeous art installation.

        Looks like one of the Windows is a door way going to some stairs.

    This is one of the fake buildings in London that are actually just ventilation shafts for the subway.

    EDIT: Not one of those. See answer to this comment.

      Art installation on Margate, Kent, UK.

      No ventilations.

    Can’t they just scooch it back into place? I don’t want to drop a bunch of architectural/engineering lingo, but it’s pretty self-explanatory, no?

    Here is the building on Street View:

    It’s been knocked down and replaced since 2015.

    Playing Tony Hawk drastically changed the way I looked at the world.

    It made me look around and up for things that I did not have the skill to grind on in real life and suddenly I was noticing details of buildings and art and so on.

      It’s called the Tetris effect and it gave me really stupid ideas when Need For Speed: Underground came out and had this mechanic where you could fill up your boost by doing near misses with oncoming traffic. I just had my driving license not long before that.
