big ugly boxes that stretched upwards. valued space over aesthetics. they were ugly when they were built, and remained ugly until they were destroyed. (tregedy doesn't make something ugly beautiful, it can make the ugly sacred, however)
Build a building. We have too many fucking memorials in this country. There are more memorials in the 230 year history of the US than in the 2300 year history of Italy. Why bother? if it's not important enough to remember without a monument, then it's probably not all that important.
