Maybe they used the tire stacks as concrete molds and that foundation will last forever!

I want to believe it's something like that (I'm pretty sure I've seen some sort of packed tire building thing) but I just don't have any faith left in people

See, I was thinking that if there were an earthquake the building would just sproing off the ground and then flump back down again on its nice rubbery landing pad, thereby remaining intact.

I want to believe it's obvious that a tire used for a foundation is otherwise bad and nobody would destroy a building by stealing a couple tires but I just don't have any faith left in people

I thought about that. It’s possible.

But do you think the people who built this thing did it right?

Based on the window on the front, those walls are not there on the inside. I think it's a photoshop.

Maybe it's real? But if so, how thin are those walls!

The Keret House in Warsaw is just 122cm (4ft) wide at its widest point. Though it's more of an art installation than a proper house. And it was actually built properly.

If you look at the left hand side of the window, you can see that the front wall that window is in is on top of the side walls, like you can see at the bottom edge:

Yeah I saw that. It doesn't look like a wide enough wall! Whole thing looks ready to just snap in half.

Also that means the entire facing above that window is sitting on the window - it's load-bearing glass
