RE: [ENG] Ephemeral art and architecture structures [ESP] Estructuras de arte y arquitectura efímeras

Dear discoveringarni, it is good that you were lucky enough to see in person the sand skyscrapers in the Dubai Marina, Obviously the almost no rain helps to keep the structure in time, I just wonder if it is not a kind of slavery having to keep it moist for such a long time so that it does not deteriorate quickly. Unless it were not true that it is necessary to keep it moist for its preservation, in such a dry environment. Here, in the tropics, I think it would be quite difficult. Thank you for your comment. Have a nice week.

I'm guessing the sandcastle stayed there briefly unless I'm wrong, because in Dubai they change the entire landscaping throughout the city every season. People get bored easily with what they see so they continue to change. I agree it's quite difficult to maintain in the tropics.
