I've been seeing a lot of furor about the old #royalalbertamuseum site on various social media outlets recently, and have some mixed feelings about it. There seems to be a lot of underestimating the difficulty of actually "saving" it. People can be quite cavalier about "just make into X". They go on about the beauty of the building.

At 1 pm today, Edmonton architects Shafraaz Kaba, David Murray and Darrel Babuk will be leading free walking tours of the seemingly doomed old Royal Alberta Museum building! A fine way to mark Alberta Day. https://www.facebook.com/share/FZNeV9ScSUxSCUVs/?mibextid=WaXdOe #Edmonton #yeg #RAM #RoyalAlbertaMuseum #AlbertaDay #Alberta
