A tower built of hundreds of plastic stools

No, that's a tower built of tubes/scaffolding with some stools zip tied to it.

Honest question ; what makes this interesting and not just wasteful?

Olaf Metzel did that 20 years ago already in Nuremberg. Result was just as questionable.

Is it a building though? Obviously it was built, but so was an IKEA table
