On the whole I prefer conservation to destruction, but frankly I can easily think of a number of buildings that the world would be better without. The ones that most readily spring to mind have appeared in the last thirty years or so.
So it's particularly ironic that last night we came close to losing a building we cannot easily do without in its embodiment of that which we most deeply aspire to. But it wasn't lost and chances are it will rise again. Good.
Unfortunately it's dreadfully easy to think of so much else we are in severe danger of losing that is beyond restoration.
