" Before the advent of modernism, they never saved a facade becasue it was generally understood that the newer building would be as attractive or more than the building being replaced"

havent we been over this "modernism created preservation"meme enough times before. Preservation of the 20th century type is a luxury product, and one driven by a sense of rootlessness due to industrialization and urbanization. Its paralleled by neofolk music and other drives for authenticity.
