Learned from the book that many architectures were demolished prematurely due to fluctuating market value, over-specification and lack of flexibility in design. Architectures can no way be designed perfectly, they should be designed rather for longevity by allowing inhabitants to easily adjust, adapt, re-adjust, re-adapt, and slowly evolve as a living museum. If longevity is not an option either through the Low Road or the High Road way, architectures should at least be designed for easy disassembly to facilitate reuse or recycle.
