Impersonal



I'm not so fond of these modern buildings that have appeared in Bucharest the last years.
Of course they seem modern, functional and "Western" and they look better than the old grey blocks of flats, but they do not say much.
They could be anywhere in the world and shelter anything. They have no personality, just a lot of glass.
I like the old Bucharest buildings more, with their "wrinkles" and their past.

What do you think? How about your place?

I particularly like them. They are the children of our time and we also deserve a place in history.
they have the same aesthetics as our cars, our clothes, our gadgets at home, our computers.
Most the times they are built with materials and systems that are environmental friendly.
If we could survive with the old architecture from ancient regimes, I'm sure these new constructions, built in freedom of style, materials and service won't make us any hurt.
I find the personality of our time in them.
They reflect how our society moves: quickly, transparently, informally.
Yes, definitely I like them.
