As for the generic, boring modern buildings that aren't worth saving, well:

Are these not the same? Even if fixed up, are they really that architecturally significant? Does a cornice and brick wall make a building worth more to society than steel panels and a glass curtain wall? |
I'm probably in the minority here, but I see those buildings as having no more or less merit than the first building shown in the OP and wouldn't care to see either preserved if they needed to be torn down due to density requirements. Buildings serve a function, they should look nice yes, but the function is more important than the appearance.
