Granted the buildings may be ugly and perhaps should be torn down for aesthetic or social reasons. But before rolling out the demolition ball, studies should be done to see if it would be more efficient (environmentally, financially, socially) to rework or, less preferably, simply let these buildings live out their lives. Should the buildings be torn down, measures first need to be in place to ensure their replacements will not be of a quality the same or worse. <br /> <br />Foremost in importance, however, is implementing good design in the first place. Second to that is the awareness that taste changes. <br />Kasparhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16317085027488771121noreply@blogger.com
