Another day, another US building falls down; no doubt the old London Bridge song needs to be rewritten for us across the lake. Now there are many explanations for each of these building collapses, but what we need is something general and grand, poetic. How about the collapse being an infrastructural representation of the present cultural collapse that America is experiencing? Buildings are replicating culture. And, it may well be that the actual physical collapse does get tied back to America’s diversity revolution in some shape or form, depending on how these structures were tacked up, and banged together in the first place.
