Description

Traces from the past are too often brutally erased, radically eliminated from our visual environment. In our society of extreme hygiene, that seeks to modernize and regulate everything leaving little room for aging, degradation, to be left adrift. Transported by the buildings of our city, the subtle movement of time demonstrates our progressive evolution. They are the visual markers, the comforting beacons that tell our history creating affection for our city that is truly unique to it. Granted, the demolitions of entire areas or buildings for the profit of more productive arrangements are sometimes necessary. The obsession with quasi systematically destroying however, must be restrained. Created by Quartier

eh, well, you know that you are right! the question is: how can a society stop this so called "progressive air"? it seems that everything has to have some profit - otherwise will no longer exist in the near future! the pragmatism has the biggest hand upon our "dear" society these days...but I still hope that nobody will ever consider tearing down old buidings in Vienna, Paris, Praga, Bucharest or Madrid! Some of us can change this so -called steps through progression, but we cannot do it just by ourselves! a revolution is not made just by one man! so, viva la revolution! :D maybe in the near future, those full-loaded men will think twice before vanish some old buildings! yeah, right!!! have a great day and a great week to come!
