THE NEW ONE SHOULD BE LIKE THE "THREE SWORDS" OF SCANDINAVIA
JUST THIS MONUMENTAL SLAB OF, PROBABLY, FIBERGLASS REINFORCED CONCRETE, STABBED INTO THE EARTH

SamhradhGoat I would love to climb up the sword and hang out on the pommel.
It'd be amazing for base jumpers too.
@nugger @Eiregoat @confederatehobo @Frondeur Main issue is the concrete has to be a certain thickness to protect the underlying steel from atmospheric oxygen so it's not good for statues
I think the big issue, more than material selection, is the obsession of modern architects to make buildings that are not only not geometrically stable but deliberately unstable.
Everything nowadays is frame based construction and they build everything too high and they build them into all sorts of impractical shapes.

What I want to know is are these unstable pieces of art buildings that people go inside of or close enough to destroy people or important things if they fall down and are they getting taxpayer subsidies or is this a tool to funnel money
If someone builds a piece of artwork through their own honest hard work, it falls down & nobody gets hurt and nothing important gets damaged I do not care
& pyramids are over-rated
@LivingSpaceStudios @confederatehobo @Eiregoat @Frondeur @Groomschild @nugger
Will if they are building unstable buildings to show how good they are at art and yet spending extra money that could be used to provide better facilities for people living in the building and also risk tenant lives then that is bad
Most large scale landlords might be evil people who made a corrupt deal with the fractional reserve bankers and do not care about their tenants life or well being
