@Goldfish,
Surviving through weathering the elements and time is completely different than being torn down becasue a style is out of fashion. Selxic was talking about good construction, not being out of style.

As for the "culling" of modernism, I'm not sure you can equate the protests against the demolition of the Post Office, Penn Station, or Grand Central to the demolition of the Christian Scientist Church on 16th. Not saying you're wrong to like that church, but an honest appraisal of peoples reaction to the demolition of various buildings of the past doesn't support your assertion that one style is as loves as another. Disharmhoy in music and abstraction in art will always have their place, but again, I don't think most people will miss a poured in place concrete box, but I could be wrong!
