      “That probably add structure, sun blocking, wind cutting and visual appeal to the building” – added a person who wasn’t salty about reusing materials.

        I mean no.

        This means they do not carry the building’s weight, but they wrap around it and protect it from wind and rain.

        Article covered that. And it’s got lots of gaps, maybe half the vehicles would be protected, but if you’re worried about that, you just don’t park on the exterior.

        I’m salty about poorly written, sensationalist greenwashing headlines.

        I assume the entire country of Sweden didn’t construct this building, or the entire city of Lund for that matter. If anything, the headline should name the architect and/or design company.

        And this is basically just using waste material as decoration, about as functional as if you hung it up on your wall at home.

          Yeah, they should toss it in a landfill like everyone else! Fucking posers, trying to do literally anything with stuff that isn’t easily recycled or reused…
