🤔Restoration is important to preserve the past creation of historical and intellectual designs that would otherwise be lost.
Creation brings something new into existence or is often an evolution of a previous creation. Both are part of a system in nature or our own quest for something new.
A property in the City of London is one I reflect on in a parallel to restoration or creation….
Once upon a time Plantation House existed and on its ground floor it had exceptionally wide corridors with, what looked like gas lanterns at intervals.
After quizzing the property team they explained the corridor was the exact width of the original street width to allow two horse drawn carriage’s to pass. The lanterns set to the exact positions of the first street lighting! This amazed, impressed and opened my opens to several other architectural elements of Cities and historical interest.
Fast forward perhaps 20 year a new creation in its place - glass, tall and designed to a regular format I would guess providing a more modern, usable space with better utilisation, running costs and return for its Landlord. The original property gone!!
Progress?
Take a field - not a field before, an area of land, man made, then turned into housing.
At each stage progression in creation or loss?
Are these forms of progression, creative or sustainabable for the environment and our society?
Great question Atul Bansal…..
I think we need to progress creatively, with far more creative solutions in balance to retain and restore our past, together with safe guarding our future on so many levels.

As a young person, I was captivated by the work of an artist who was dismissed by the art world but revered by mathematicians.
He rejected both Mick Jagger’s and Stanley Kubrick’s attempts to schmooze him.
Recently, when faced with the task of repairing missing tiles in a listed building, I stood in the corridor and started to stare at the floor and was transported into the world MC Escher and the floor started to move and an idea was born.
Restoration is not always the answer.

Consider this: Despite our technological advancements and confidence, can we identify a single crisis, whether natural or man-made, that humanity has successfully, permanently, and sustainably resolved? Have we contemplated the notion that, left to its natural course, Nature will continue to navigate from one crisis to another, as it has done for billions of years, without pausing or intervening? By acknowledging the inherent complexity of the world and questioning our assumptions about intervention, we may gain a deeper understanding of our place within the grand scheme of Nature's processes. Perhaps, instead of trying to "fix" everything, we should focus on fostering resilience and adaptation, allowing Nature to continue its course while we adapt and evolve alongside it.
