News
There is an awful lot of demolition in the news at the moment. I've been in denial about the demolition of Paul Rudolphs Sarasota School. But sadly it will be gone by the end of the summer. And surprisingly there is an I.M. Pei-designed "brutalist" church in Washington DC that may get demo'ed too. This morning I read a rather sardonic article about the uncertain future of "the crappiest building Mies ever designed." It was actually kind of funny. With all this needless destruction it is always nice to hear Prince Charles talk about the saving our built environment!
