Demolition Job

It’s been a while since I visited the office in Reading and although I took some notice of the plastic wrapped scaffolding around a nearby building (I had to; the pavement was cordoned off), I didn’t think any more of it until I went into a meeting room at the back of our offices.  I was astonished  at the extent of the demolition works that were underway.  Waiting for my colleagues to arrive, I reflected on the transient nature of modern building.  Nothing seems to be built to last and is demolished rather than re-developed.  And I think that’s sad!
