China 36: Faking it
17 February 2009
An example of camouflage and fakery (both arts the Chinese have mastered): vinyl adhesive faking embossing on stainless steel doors in subway system. The motto is: “do not disrupt the natural order of things, but if you have to make sure it doesn’t (really) show” (in this case un-embossed doors have to match the other embossed original ones). Typical. This idea is especially true in park design; you have no idea how many wooden-tree-trunk-be-trashcans I have seen.
Can you post a pic of the wooden-tree-trunk-be-trashcans pls?
