      Those were the days, after WWII, when a "modernism" movement was in vogue. Buildings that were designed then were nothing more than boxes with holes punched out for windows. Some time in the 1980s some form started to come back to architecture. Penn Station was only 50 years old when it was torn down in 1963. Compare our record to structures in the old world. I'd say we failed that class.

    Things that gradually change often give the feeling of a parallel world. The same, but different. Even ageing faces. Look at a picture of your grandfather in his high school yearbook. Every detail of his face is different; but somehow we recognize it as the same face. A map of your town in 1900 (if it was there!) might look very familiar, even if none of the details are the same any more. Part of it is also human perception of what is 'the same' and 'different'. These photos show the same contrast.

    Wars are very bad for buildings. Abandoned buildings should be quickly fixed up, or demolished. As a last resort, nature will always reclaim the land.
