Weathering/ Shadow/ Memory

In the article "Places" by Natalini, the idea that there can be places that have no memories or history is discussed. Although there are efforts being made to build architecture that can last through time and stand against weathering, I think that the weathering that occurs on a building could possibly be part of the way a place starts to have memories and history connected to it. Do you think this is the case? Or is weathering simply destructive to architecture?

Beginnings/ Order/ Proportion

In the article "The Geometry of Feeling," Pallasmaa poses the question 'why do so few modern buildings appeal to our feelings, when an anonymous house in an old town or... farm building gives us a sense of familiarity and pleasure?' How do the ideas of order and proportion relate to this statement, and why these more common buildings might give us more familiarity then modern buildings.
