NFSWednesday: Erosion Always Wins

Happy Not For Sale Wednesday! And maybe it’s just as well that this gorgeous Chilean house — or rather, house with a gorgeous Chilean view — is Not For Sale, as I would be tempted to buy it and, as far as I can tell from the architect’s website, it’s designed to erode.

I have enough problems keeping the moss of my roof (last week my neighbor offered me a loan of his power washer, as the condition of my roof pained him). What could I do with a house that embodies the “very crude reality of the temporal condition of architecture”?

Nuthin’, that’s what. So I leave it to someone else, someone who hasn’t been living with unpainted drywall patches for four years.
