I've seen this done several times previously with the original photograph above. From example page 16 of "How buildings Learn" by Stewart Brand from 1994 (a really great book) has this exact comparison with a photograph from 1981 (the tall building the the exact centre is missing). There is another example from last year here: http://stevedunwell.com/aboveandbeyond/?p=27 and another here http://www.boston.com/ae/specials/aerialboston/
How buildings Learn" by Stewart Brand from 1994 (a really great book)
Yes. Stewart Brand should need no introduction to readers of HN for his many influences on high-tech industry, but I'm always telling friends about How Buildings Learn: What Happens After They're Built,
