I always love when people fumigate buildings, they wrap them in circus tent like tarps and change the whole value of the structure. It is as if the building is now removed and takes on a second life, a life now only functioning as an object. All traditional interaction with the old structure is lost, it sheds original purpose. You can no longer enter the building, it becomes vacant and poisonous.

Every time I see these wrapped buildings I get excited and feel as if they have now become sculpture, reminding me of the works of Christo.
