You reminded me of a Shrine in Japan they demolish and rebuild every 20 years[0]. I guess they embrace the ephemerality of life.

i guess that would also be interesting because the tradition connects us to the past. I wonder if it would be as tactile though… perhaps it’s a more cerebral type of connection, rather than the visceral appeal of something worn and weathered.
