Fuck it to hell. Siwa doesn't need any more dumbass outsiders pissing around with their culture in the name of the great god Sustainability. They have a wonderful traditional building material called kershef that is perfect for their needs. It is a mixture of sand and rock salt and mud, all of which are in plentiful supply on the oasis. It produces buildings which are naturally temperature stabilised. Its not waterproof but in the middle of the Western desert that is rarely an issue, yanno. The Siwans' problem is that incoming Egyptians and other foreigners are more likely to build in concrete, meaning that their traditional building skills are in danger of being lost.
So, Hey dumb artist type, ya wanna build a building made of blood???
Put it in the City of London, or on Wall Street, or somewhere else where the blood of the innocent is worshipped as a by-product. And if you can make a death generate profit twice, well that's a bankers wet dream isn't it?

Cool, it's kind of like a modern take on Hemacite.

Finally a useful purpose for all that blood from my enemies. Time to start making the world's largest easy bake oven.

You're telling vegans about this, right?

I just did. Recommended. Would inform again.

I learned something.  Hemacite things look neat.

They're really beautiful. I used to work at an old-house-parts store and we would get them in from time to time.

Call me squeamish, but I wouldn't live in a house of blood.

Seriously, I thought industrial-scale production of cattle was a problem as such, what with high energy intensity and all the methane cows produce. And in the meantime, that blood could be used as food. And what MMIX said.
