A city exists on a continuum; buildings are built and torn down. Certain live indefinitely - symbols of something greater than their perhaps mundane use - illustrating value and symbolic significance to present and ultimately coming generations. Others are transformed or eliminated as time moves on and exist as they are only in the present - a night, a day, a week - can change everything.
To document these structures and conditions, both timeless and ephemereal, reveals the meanings and intentions of a particular time, place, and culture (and of the person documenting). A culture can be defined by what it chooses to preserve and by what it chooses to destroy.
