Penn Station. Is there a bigger architectural crime ever? Not often a country has destroyed its best building willingly.

Saw this photo on instagram of Portland in Oregon. All of this was destroyed for a road. Had some beautiful facades but I guess once people lost the ability to walk they had to go…. 🤷🏻😉😬

Even if money was no object, could architects produce this? Could the glass box merchants know where to start? Is it in their interests that this never comes back?

I genuinely believe it’s been all decline since this. Cleaner, less traffic, slimmer healthier people, no ugly architecture, everyone dressed smarter and more stylish, a lot less plate glass shop fronts.
