I like this outlook very much. I remember a visit to Coventry Cathedral (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_Cathedral) when I was at school, and the destruction of the old building had just become part of the history of the site. There had been no attempt to rebuild the old cathedral, just an acceptance that a tragedy had occurred and that there were lessons to be learned.

Egad, I hope one of them was that modern architects shouldn't be allowed near a building project. To see the ruins of that beautiful old cathedral next to that atrocity against beauty is almost physically painful.
