Nostalgic Woes

Posted on Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 5:22 PM

Stop living in the past.

We all enjoy the heritage buildings, and hopefully can preserve most of them for use. That's right, USE—buildings are designed to be used. Modernity is here to stay. If you want proof, go travel. Historic buildings can co-exist with modern ones, and there are plenty (read: almost every) cities that have shown this to be true. Contrary to what some of you might believe, Halifax is not the only city with "historic" character.

Historical mimicry is simply a failure of the present, and an insult to the past (plastic fake stones do not equal real masonry).

I'd rather live in the present, thank you. -The Future
