In fact, I kinda love it. Those buildings say “Here I am and this is how I’m made” -I respect that, and I always want to touch textured concrete…
Anyway, it would be a shame to erase them from our architectural history just because some (okay, a lot) of people think it’s ugly. I think we can all agree that PoMo was a huge mistake, but no one is tearing them down.
