Brighton High School Redux
As I mentioned
previously, Brighton High School (Deep Space Brighton) is being torn
down and replaced by a generic box. The process is now well under way,
and it really is shaping up to be just the sort of thing you eyes will
slide right off of. This sort of thing has become so pervasive, I have
adopted a new standard for architectural aesthetics: the Ruin Test.
When the building falls to ruin, what will the people living then think
of it? Will it still be interesting like the ones we now have in
Greece, Egypt, Thailand, or Mexico? Or will it be something they'll
want to scrape off into a dump as quickly as possible? I have a good
idea where all our ugly boxes are heading. The only question is whether
there will be enough landfill space.
