Bio"Everything is real until it is published." -Robert Lowell
-------
Ruin value is the concept that a building be designed such that if it eventually collapsed, it would leave behind aesthetically pleasing ruins that would last far longer without any maintainence at all. The idea was pioneered by Albert Speer and supported by Hitler. Such ruins were to be a symbol of the greatness of the Third Reich, just as Greek and Roman ruins were symbolic of those civilizations.
It was pure coincidence that I found my basic belief in re: architecture should have been shared by the century's foremost facist and his beloved grandmaster of civic space.
So it goes.
