This song reminds me of my mam and dad spliting up and no-one giving a shit

Apparently M's dad is designing and building an artificial island

for ferrari off the coast of abu dhabi. Supposedly it will have a

shopping mall on it that will have a roof made of imitation metal

bamboo, printed to look like real bamboo. I may be conflating more

than one project here, but have been promised links. The intention was

to use real bamboo, only in the desert climate it would have dried out

and crumbled away, and also collected a 10cm layer of sand on top, and

to deal with this the owners would have had to employ workers to

constantly patrol the roof and sweep it away. Because the mall will

have enormous TV screens dangling inside displaying advertisements,

the roof has to be counterbalanced by having dangling sculptures

outside, hanging from the eaves. I think I suggested giant pandas

(maybe live ones in cages?) would be appropriate. but I'm not sure how

far this will penetrate the design process. I feel like I'm saying

this more than ever, but you really can't make this shit up. A baroque

acid dream indeed.
