This actually sounds like an interesting and somewhat original idea. It will be very expensive and must be structurally sound. I agree with other posters that the artist would be wise to install elevators or something to make it accessible by wheelchair bound and fragile ambulators. I hope it doesn’t take the “easy” way out and become an exhibition of sleaze, just to get attention.

Yes, it could be that and so much more.
Where architecture and installation art blend?
The underlying form, the work of the structural engineers and many others has a beauty of it's own, that amplifies the visible work.

That said, this work is at odds with so many of the beliefs that prevail within our society.
You have to walk up that thing?
Unsafe, unstructured, unsupervised...
Fails to pay homage to this group or that group...
The cost is crazy. With 200MM we could save...

Should it actually be built, and you make a visit, you will see a 'closed' sign and monument to graffiti and human slothfulness.
