Considering that there are a lot of photographers in this group, it would be good to see their photos of demolished

buildings.
Where was that Lewis Hostel DG?

I suppose the motivation for threads like this isn't just wishing we these incredible

buildings back with us, (and to be honest I really do wish we had some of them) it's also vital if we as a city come to demand the same high-level



production values from the developers in today's and tomorrow's built environment, as those best-practice examples that went before..

Also, I'm a

huge fan of great modern architecture but I also wish we could talk seriously about actually rebuilding buildings occaisionally when to do so brings back

that which was lost. Like identity. Like history. Like just... wonderful buildings.

I literally would replace-pretty much exactly-the OHR, for

instance.
