Two local architects are practicing archery amidst some crumbling ruins near the touristy part of town, right by that bagel shop.  They are both chewing cinnamon flavored bubble gum.

c: “I shall no longer romanticize ruins.”  

b: “But everything ends up as ruins.”

c:  “Not if the building spontaneously returns to its base materials of construction upon fulfilling its essential purpose.”

b: “But, how will you know when the building is done working?”

c: “I won’t know…the building shall speak for itself when it is ready to retire.  When it has deemed itself obsolete, it shall lie down rather than allow itself to be converted into a pigeon den or worse, a museum showcasing its nonfunctioning self.”

b: “How shall it warn the occupants or tenants of its impending return to soil?”

c: “It will yawn.”
