Ruin value

The ruin theory of value is a term coined by the architect Albert Speer term.

Speer described the ruin theory of value in 1969: The use of particular materials as well as the consideration of special statistical considerations should allow buildings that in the state of decay, after hundreds or ( as we expected ) thousands of years, would be about the same Roman models.

Although the term spear until 1969 used the first time, the ruin theory of value is often understood as an architecture in the National Socialist underlying principle that the construction of a building and its dignified decay with einplante. In contemporary texts of this design principle was never mentioned, so it is considered as a subsequent write-up today.
