Cite 62
Fall 2004
Editor’s Note
Cite 62 was guest edited by Barry Moore, Danny Marc Samuels, and Christof Spieler.
In this issue of Cite, we have taken a look at the mortality of buildings—a deviation from our more customary architecrural birth announcements. Buildings, like people, age—some better than others, some more quickly than others. Eventually most of them die, and disappear. Or they can be born again. The approach of ruination accelerates when buildings can no longer accommodate an economic viability, or when they cannot Lidapt to new functions, or when their health problems discourage any hope of a wealthy suitor. Then the wrecking ball and bulldozers come out, the buildings come down, and the scraped site is ready for a new cycle of construction.
