come to brasilia (or don't)

I was about to launch into another long-winded and pointless critique of modern architecture, but I think that is getting stale, or in fact, is completely stale and futile, except when I've found an audience that is young and impressionable.

Brasilia is a singular creation, and if the people of Brazil deem it worth preserving, then more power to them. Given that it is an entire city, and represents a considerable capital investment, I think that its preservation, in some form, is guaranteed for at least a few more decades.
