The Modernist movement revolutionized architecture in the twentieth century, fostering innovation with new materials and techniques. However, many of these iconic buildings, nearing a century old, now face pressure to be demolished due to public aversion and issues with functionality, energy efficiency, and adaptability. Viewed as neither historic monuments nor modern utilities, they stand at a precarious intersection. The existing pre-demolition processes often overlook their intrinsic and historical value, focusing on superficial conditions. Yet, a growing chorus advocates for more thoughtful consideration of these structures' preservation and possible retrofitting, recognizing their sustainable legacy.
The shift in architecture during the twentieth century has led to a dilemma over preserving modern heritage structures, which face pressure for demolition despite their intrinsic value.
Modernist buildings, nearing a century old, often clash with contemporary energy efficiency and comfort standards, leading to calls for their demolition in urban areas.
