Critique of historicizing rebuilding projects
While this subreddit mainly gets overflow from other dedicated spaces, rebuilding in a historical aesthetic is an increasingly frequent discussion here as well. Sadly most of these conversations either devolve into an entirely subjective spat over the value of styles and aesthetics, or end up in a one sided attempt to explain the crisis of eclectic architecture.
My belief is that there are other objective and digestible reasons against such projects outside the circles of architectural theory proven to be uninteresting for most people. Two of these are underlying ideology and the erasure of history - the contrast between feigned restoration and the preservation of actual historic structures.
The following is a video I have come across that raises some good points along these lines against projects such as this in one of the most frequently brought up cities - Budapest. I would guess that it could be interesting for many on both sides of the argument.
