Not battered Japanese, sadly, but almost as fluffy.It wasn't the first time I'd passed by the monstrosity above, though it had been quite a while, and it was perhaps the fact that I was returning from a successful mission to retrieve quite a nice art-deco sideboard from a rather tacky exectutive housing estate that made the stuck-on columns stick out all the more.
That and the fact that the polystyrene core is showing through the imitation danstone effect veneer in places, lending the joint an air of rather more genteel decay than it deserves. I doubt he was thinking of small-time gambling dens in suburban Sydney, but I suspect this isn't what Albert Speer meant by his theory of ruin value.
