I couldn't agree with your viewpoint more. In the rapid development of downtown Toronto, historical landmarks have lost their place, and all preserved buildings, with their so-called "shells," have lost their own historical narratives. As a complete structure, every material and structure should reflect the unique characteristics of that building. This concerns the technology of its construction and the aesthetics popular during its respective era. The most fascinating aspect of historical buildings is sometimes their ability to evoke the scenes of their original use without needing words—they are stories in themselves. Yet, in Toronto now, there are fewer and fewer buildings that can tell such stories, which is regrettable for the city.
In contrast, Montreal and Quebec City excel much more in preserving buildings from an architectural conservation perspective. Walking through the streets of Quebec, one can truly feel the charm of the city and the historical legacy left by the French in this region. Furthermore, from a sustainability standpoint, demolishing buildings outright and using completely new materials is not environmentally friendly. As an architect, it's crucial, both for environmental reasons and budget considerations, to reconsider the materials that can be reused from existing buildings.

The concept of biophilic design can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who incorporated elements of nature into their architecture and urban planning. However, the modern understanding of biophilic design emerged in the mid-20th century. It was popularized by the American biologist Edward O. Wilson and the social ecologist Ian McHarg. Wilson's 1984 book "Biophilia" and McHarg's ecological planning concepts laid the foundation for the integration of nature and design in the built environment.

Traditions are often what has proven to work. This is especially true for architecture and city planning. Rather than die uselessly on the soulless hill of modernism in the name of creativity and innovation, why not find other places for them in order to strike a balance?
The Aesthetic City covers why traditional architecture and urbanism works so well even today in this video.
