It’s not always the biggest projects that are the saddest: often it’s a small house, a delicate facade, an innocent building… tear down to make room for something that will clash with the atmosphere of a neighborhood.

Noooo why is this still allowed in Paris? That new building looks generic as fuck too.

Terrible shame

Did they stop using architects or did architects stop using architecture?

The building on the right is the ugliest building I’ve ever seen

A shame – something unmistakably of its place and of an era replaced by something that could be built anywhere..
I think its no wonder we are seeing xenophobia increasing throughout the West. Local people’s sense of identity and home is being destroyed in front if their eyes. Its bound to make people feel threatened and susceptible to reactionism.
A pity that we always seem misidentify the causes of our problems. I am at least heartened by a growing awareness of this issue. Coal Yard Drops in London, Poundberry etc are at least recognitions that architects and planning laws have been getting it wrong for quite some time.

Who’s to say even a older building was demolished to build that one on the left.
