A Dutch architecture firm built this crazy building facade out of old stainless steel kitchen sinks held together with wire, scaffolding, and waterproof boards. It was last seen making its rounds of parks in the Netherlands, and can double as a rainwater storage tank.

    Those will make great nesting sites for birds and the place will literally look like crap by the end of summer. It’ll smell bad and harbor disease too.

    That angle makes it look like a combine facility from Half Life 2.

    Anybody else remember a Bill Forsyth movie from the early ’80s called ‘That Sinking Feeling”…?

    You know what would be funny?

    Having the artist return from a vacation to find out that they left all of these running.

    Expensive, but funny.

    Huh. For once, it’s nothing but the kitchen sink.

    I really want a sink like some of those. The double bowl one on the left; looks really nice, easy to clean, probably costs two arms and a leg new.
