A similar kind of thing was built in the entrance way to the school assembly building at my high school. In a addition to being a fire hazard (blocking exits from a theater) it was hideous. It met its end in the school parking lot; a student came in on the weekend before it was to be dismantled and made the lauded decision to burn it in a teacher's parking spot instead.
I LOVED those structures when they were at MoG, I enjoyed being able to go inside of them, and when they started to sag and otherwise react to the elements, I thought that was great, too: temporary art installation succumbing to time. I root for MORE Patrick Doughtery!
you were rooting for them to go Absent Without Official Leave?
