Images In The 20th Century Had A Unique Power Where Image Became Divorced From Reality, And Often More Important Than Reality. Buildings Were Judged More By The Way They Looked In Magazines Than By The Satisfaction People Felt When Using Them.

High Buildings Have No Genuine Advantages, Except In Speculative Gains For Banks And Land Owners.
