Urban Decay Anonymous 03/02/16 (Wed) 00:17:01 No.414

There is something I find interesting about abandoned/forgotten buildings, monuments, and piles of rumble in urban settings and in the middle of nowhere. Post Structures left to decay, taken back by nature at the mercy of graffiti artist, and home to the less fortunate.

Here are some images from Bronx in the 80s after race riots.

I was obsessed with this a few years ago for some reason.

Here are two case studies I remember:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pruitt-Igoe
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini-Green

Also worth looking into: commieblocks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panel_house

It's interesting because practically every Euro country that suffered under socialism has a name for them: Panelák (Czechoslovakia), Plattenbau (East Germany), etc.

What a shitty work. Should've just put it on fire instead.
