Why?
- MonkeyClub 4y ago> Why? Because history is as valuable to humanity as memory to the human.
- Xc43 4y agoHistory, yes. The actual obsolete building housing humans, no.
- cortesoft 4y agoSo is every building history, then? Are we not allowed to knock down any buildings, since they are all part of history?

- midoridensha 4y agoYou don't need to preserve everything to remember history. If we never destroy old buildings, we'd have to abandon all our cities and find new places to build new cities, because we can't just keep living like it's the middle ages (or whatever time period you feel we need to preserve).
- rippercushions 4y agoA lot of people thought that we should not preserve pre-war architecture, and that's why we now have a lot of modernist and brutalist architecture in its place. I do agree that aesthetics and fitting into the neighborhood should come into the equation somewhere: the Barbican is probably worthy of preservation, some random shitty shoebox municipal library or housing estate probably isn't.
