Building conservation

Has a building been built with future erosion in mind? Like how cup cakes are not filled with batter to the brim accounting for overflow. Will the pillars have to bulge out to look perfectly cynlindrical later on? When is that time? Dear Mr. Keats was your thing of beauty so from the moment you saw it and did it last long? Did the joy outlast the thing?

Discobulus is a copy of a lost bronze. The value of the found ones inreases with the knowledge of history of the middle ages[1].

1.In the course of the Middle Ages nearly all the bronze sculptures of gods,rulers and athletes that once populated ancient cities and sanctuaries had been melted down for weapons and wars. To wake the dead. Marina Belozerskoya. pg 12
