Façadism, 8th Street, NW, Washington, DC, 2018.Prompted by a mania for historic preservation, this was an effort to save old façades when new, exceptionally bland, buildings took the place of older ones with a modicum of style and variety. The end result is bizarre at best. 8th Street, NW is almost devoid of pedestrian life, unlike the lively streets nearby. -- source link
