Part of it seems like a statement but it could easily cross the line into affectation.

That kind of character speaks of spaces that are as well-used as they are well-loved. Doing it on purpose seems a bit forced, sort of like trying to find a shortcut to character.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-16913308148767648762010-10-14T10:13:39.788-04:002010-10-14T10:13:39.788-04:00While its appropriate to embrace imperfections tha...While its appropriate to embrace imperfections that fit in context (such as cracks and other imperfections in concrete floors in an adaptive reuse project), having a "manufactured" imperfection really seems disingenuous, especially with the finely perfected smoothed out cracks... Reminds me of the "trucker hats" that they sell that are already worn in, with a fake tire mark and a machine made rip in the same place on every unit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
