The future of the preservationist movement may be evident in a new trend which has seen several relatively “young” and unspectacular buildings saved from the wrecking ball by activists looking to preserve a piece of America’s architectural heritage. “Good contemporary architecture, always a precious resource, is often a victim of the rush to replace. Too new to benefit from the power of nostalgia but already old enough to look dated and shabby, buildings become especially vulnerable when they reach their mid-20s.” The trick, of course, is determining which examples of recent architecture are truly worth fighting for, but that anyone is fighting for them at all is an important step.
