Rebranding Cities
Buildings are to cities as logos are to brands. Buildings act as gateways to the culture and history of society in places large and small.

I’ve never been so offended in my life before. It’s difficult to even formulate words to describe the atrocity I’ve witnessed, the horrible taste left in mouth, the complete disregard...
