Stewart Brand

Hello, again! The second post for tonight is going to be focused around Stewart Brand and his theory on the change in buildings once they're built.
As a response to Brand's statement, I'd say that his thesis makes sense. Buildings are susceptible to change, and this is due to the materials that are used. Going off of this point, there are some materials that have to either gets fixed or changed during the "lifetime" of any building, whether it's the woodwork, the application of glass pieces, brickwork, etc. There's also the matter of how some materials go along with the popular fashion of buildings during certain periods in time, such as tiles in the ancient Greek/Roman era. Sometimes certain materials and the fashion of them pass on to the coming years of change, but not always; this then results to possible changes that could be made to a building if it's seen as necessary.
