The Hollywood preindication is in risk : The surrounding land is up for sale , and luxury homes may invade it soon . A non - profit trust is trying to intercept this , but someone has another approximation : Turn it into a hotel .
If you have never been in Los Angeles , you wo n’t know that the Hollywood sign is crap . It ’s just letters made of paint plywood that look huge and majestic on the silver screen , but wretched and flyspeck in realness . Like the clusterfuck of brilliant self-love and miserable wonder it represents , the Hollywood mark is pure façade that can barely be seen from the length and it ’s never quick for its finis - up .
That ’s why Danish architect Christian Bay - Jorgensen want to turn this pathetic mirage into what everyone really want : A dress shop hotel with the same shape , but double the size . A phallic monument for fertile tourists who want to experience inside the false pipe dream and suck marketing and views straight from tinseltown ’s tits .
Bay - Jorgensen thinks that his epitome of naff would make the sign better for everyone . I agree with him , but not because his cosmos would permit mass to walk the “ sign ” and look down to Los Angeles , while everyone else would be able to see it for a with child distance . No . The hotel would make things better because this could be the ultimate whorification of Hollywood , the final acknowledgement that the romance is entirely die in favor ofcommercialismand focussing groups .
