Een ruïne van het modernisme in de jungle van Brazilië. Het nooit afgebouwde toeristenhotel Gávea Tourist Hotel nabij Rio de Janeiro. In 1953 begon Décio da Silva Pacheco met ontwerpen en in 1972(!!!) werd de bouw stil gelegd door de ontwikkelaar. 10 jaar terug werd nog een poging gedaan om het af te bouwen, met de komst van de WK voetbal, maar ook toen lukte het niet om deze flat af te bouwen.

Love that you’re making it clear exactly what physical demands this job has, but could you possibly, potentially, phrase it differently?

Cnetizens: Why the thousand-year-old stone statues at the Northern Song Mausoleums aren’t covered with glass enclosures.

The director of the Cultural Relics Bureau replies: "They’ve stood here largely intact for over a millennium. Why add extra barriers?"

Visitors worry wind, rain and sunlight in the farmland will wear them down. The director explains:

Glass covers speed up decay—it’s like locking the statues in a sauna. Trapped heat and moisture create sharp temperature shifts. Salt crystals inside the stone expand and crack the carvings far faster than open-air exposure.

These statues blend naturally with the farmland landscape. Glass barriers would destroy the sense of scale and historical atmosphere.

When first built, the mausoleum complex was a restricted royal compound ringed by walls, palaces and pine trees—no farmland at all. After the Song fell, protection systems collapsed. Wars and weather destroyed buildings. Local residents gradually dismantled the abandoned structures, reusing timber and bricks in nearby villages.

By the Ming and Qing dynasties, villagers turned the empty grounds into farmland, leaving stone figures scattered amid crops.

Few people damaged the statues for three reasons: each weighs several tons and is impossible to move; folk belief held that anyone who damaged the guardian statues would be cursed with misfortune; every later dynasty passed laws punishing those who vandalized former imperial mausoleums.

Once an exclusive imperial burial ground, now ordinary farmland—this shift tells the story of history. Glass covers would only be unnecessary. As an old Chinese poem puts it: 旧时王谢堂前燕，飞入寻常百姓家

The swallows that were wont to grace the halls of Wang and Xie, Now seek the humble roofs of common men.

is there a point if I don't pass?

Nobody passes reliably. It's always contextual and conditional. Transvestigators think Margot Robbie is a brick. Is there a point to Margot Robbie's womanhood? Should she abandon it? And then what? Dress butch? Take testosterone? Get sweaty and cumbrained and swole? And she wears a strapon? And she makes you suck the strap? Is that the kind of world you want to live in? One where boymoder Margot Robbie makes you suck strap?
