The inspiration for last week’s project came from a number of internet sources and many local influences.

The local influences that impacted this project are all of the heritage buildings that I have seen destroyed over the past years and now where they once stood is either a parking lot or some horrible boxy looking building. I often wonder if in 20 years any of our built heritage (and the social heritage that goes along with it) will remain or if we will just be left with the now typical cheap throw-away buildings we seem to build in their place.

I just wanted to be reminded that although we might not understand or value the importance of something at a given time, later on in life we might miss this value and be unable to restore it.

As for internet influences, this project was inspired by such projects as the following:
