Point taken.
Sign of the times. A beautiful classic building replaced by a modern monstrosity. Civilization in decline.
That should be a crime. Destroying a beautiful, historical building with character to replace it with a modern, ugly, Orwellian monstrosity should be a crime. Modern “architecture” sucks.
Americans simply have no taste and possess no appreciation for beautiful architecture with stunning craftsmanship. Americans prefer ugly, boring, common and cheap. And don’t get me started on the a abominable open floor plan monstrosities.
Developers are the lowest.
The replacement is purposefully ugly, like the government it represents.
Ah yes, the Grim Ziggurat neo-modern style.
So warm and inviting.
That is the problem.
I don’t see the connection between the two photos. The bottom one is clearly Boston City Hall (I know it well) but the top one has palm trees. Not many palm trees in Boston.
Old City Hall is still standing.
