The Christo art project in Belltown. This Belltown condo building has been wrapped in plastic since 2005 with no end in sight. I guess they are refinishing the exterior. All at once. It seems to add insult to injury when you consider this region’s problems with Seasonal Affective Disorder Syndrome, a.k.a. lack of natural light. On a hot day, the units reach 90 degrees inside. And, hey, it’s not like they can open a window or turn on the air conditioning. Most condo buildings in Seattle were built without air conditioning back when global warming was restricted to scientific publications and building codes had no oversight. Okay, so nothing’s changed. But for an amusing (but, hey, sad) parallel here is the Christo website. Below is a photo of the wrapped Reichstag building, Berlin 1971-95.
