Salt Lake:Official development news thread - Part 2

[cololi]

I am not a big fan of duplicating historical styles or replicating buildings. the main reason is because it lessens the importance of the original. I think it is okay if you take some classic elements and give them a modern touch, maybe with different materials, or replicating certain elements of a building or slightly different scales, etc. But to build a new building and try to make it look old, no thanks. I am a firm believer in buildings reflecting society at the time they were built. the small cottages and bungalows in Central City reflect the area's history as being a place for blue collar workers or mid century modern buildings reflecting society's desire for high style without all the detail and new application of modern materials.
