Very curious that the older structures from earlier centuries appear to have been worked with attention to detail and workmanship that we could never match today. What happened to our craftsman, our skilled work force, our designers? Something has gone awry; we are going backwards in many ways and we can see it in what we are producing architecturally. The past stares us in the face and can't be erased or hidden. I think we may have deluded ourselves into believing in progress. Modern equates not to progress but to a regression in many ways, care, skill and painstaking attention to detail has been usurped by quick, cheap and artless.
