Urban decay
is found in all cities. When a urban flâneur
views or photographs abandoned or derelict buildings, it is not a view of a
building, observed as a meaningless object, as a structure that should be
considered as a blemish on the urban landscape or as a location for a new
structure. S(he views the underlying
text of the structure and marvels at the serendipity of its beauty.
While
rambling around the Internet, I found some interesting websites, some having exquisite photographs of urban decay.
In this blog entry, I decided to concentrate on those blog/web sites related to
Detroit-the ‘poster child of urban decay.’ In the future, I will feature other
sites with photographs of urban decay.
