>cultural cringe resulted in anti-heritage attitudes which led to the demolition of many world class pre-war buildings in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, destroying some of the world's best examples of Victorian architecture.[16] Modernism was promoted to many Australians as casting off imperial Europe to rebuild a new independent identity, and the existing pre-war architecture, which was a feature of Australian cities, was denigrated.[17] This resulted in many calls to demolish the Royal Exhibition Building, labelled the derogatory term "white elephant". It was not until Queen Elizabeth II granted the building Royal status that Australians began to recognise its value. The building became the first in Australia to be given World Heritage status

>those ugly-ass windows
Don't tell me they also put a steel door in there.

What the fuck is that?

if that was true, europe wouldn't be filled with those buildings

>in the name of progress
That's a funny way to say capitalism

The ones he is talking about are often buildings built in like the 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s which technically have heritage value to the history of the city, but are filled to the brim with asbestos, made with poor materials etc.
