I love the frand architecture of the past, and it would be a terrible loss for any of the great buildings to shut down, but what are the real odds that such events can be avoided? Is the institutional craft prepared to make the kinds of changes necessary to build a membership that could support such structures going forward, if that is possible? Of course whether such a membership increase is realistic at this time, and if achieving that sort of growth, whether such a newly enlarged membership would find such financial commitment either possible or desirable are two separate issues entirely.<br /><br />As much as I find the possibility undesirable, I suspect that we will find the decision to shut down and abandon such buildings becoming as inevitable as it has heretofore been unthinkable.<br /><br />God, I hate being pragmatic.

If you don't make a way to pay for repairs & upkeep in the future then whatever you build will eventually rot away. (Plenty of castles & cathedrals across the world to attest to this.) <br />The biggest sadness is that in the 80's & 90's (few) no one did anything to fix it and the numbers show that problems didn't just appear in the last 5 years. Where was the drive to get that generation involved?<br />Not that complaining about the actions of the past will fix anything, but at some point we have to face the fact that albatrosses have been put around our collective neck with no escape but to destroy something beautiful.Luke says Moo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02414471647136986788noreply@blogger.com
