the more of those nasty modernist eyesores that get taken out the better. After the van der Rohe's of the world took down buildings like the Chicago Stock Exchange etc. I'm happy to see that turnabout is fair play.
You do realize that several Modernist luminaries, etc. protested the demolition of New York's Penn Station?

I don't understand why people do not like these places. They are glorious examples of the architecture of that era, much like the wedding-cake homes of the Victorian era or the fake-Italian-garden homes of today.
A great example of the architecture of times back when the terminal here was considered futuristic. No way they would build it in that style if a new terminal were to be put in its place. Something like this might be more appropriate in today's day and age (nothing against Barajas Airport btw)-
Just an example of how times change and so does architecture. I think we need to respect what we have left out of the old modernist homes, they are slowly becoming a dying breed.

I did take it, Trilby; thank you. I didn't take the Barajas one.
I'll say that I am very proud to be around such a glorious building when I'm at work, it certainly beats working in an office park with cookie-cutter buildings. It's a massive structure when you get up close to it; the engineering that went into it is amazing. I would love it if more people recognized the art form that it is rather than complain about it. It's a piece of art we are still working to make as nice as possible

This thread is depressing.Originally Posted by caelte
I wish people would take to the streets and protest like they did with Penn Station. What people replace these buildings with is poverty-stricken architecture, an unwholesome combination of greed and thrift--profits and cheapness.

I try and try, but I can`t get to liking these type of modern houses. To me, they almost seem like faux-housing.
I don`t know why, because I like modern fashion, technology, etc...just not modern architecture so much. I used to think modern was the coolest when I was young, but the older I get (which isn`t so old yet) the less attractive it gets.
In the end, I am sure the true masterpieces will survive.

Unfortunately, not true at all. It all comes down to who owns/buys what, regardless of whether it is a major work or a minor work. Many modern masterpieces were built on prime pieces of property, so if someone buys one and wants to tear down the existing structure and build a fake Tuscan villa, there's nothing stopping it.
