Maria Cristina Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 I was in Armenia in May/2005 and I see the impressive quantity of construction, mainly in the center of the town of Yerevan. Despite of the protest by many who don't want to see the destruction of the old buildings, the true is that it is necessary. The soviet buildings have not inhabiting conditions. I want to return to Armenia and see those buildings ready. UAU. It will be very amazing and greatiful. Regards. Maria Cristina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantom22 Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 (edited) What is transpiring in Armenia is no different than what is transpring in other parts of the world. Yes, much of the Soviet architecture is substandard and hideously ugly. The new buildings are a sign of a new age for Armenia. However, much of the Czarist-era architecture is very beautiful and brings a sense of European culture to Armenia. Unfortunately, much of this is also falling to the wrecking ball. Armenia could learn from France and England in this regard. Edited August 2, 2005 by phantom22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
