age ungracefully

Chodzi tu o architekture, a wiec o wyglad, a nie o 'hanbe' (disgrace);

"There’s a whole lotta Libeskind goin’ on. Not surprisingly, Donald Bates, one of its architects is A) Texan and B) a veteran of Daniel Libeskind’s Berlin office. Locally, it’s controversial: is it the exciting, attention-grabbing gathering place the city’s always needed or an architectural indulgence that will age ungracefully?"

"Have I lived the required amount of years that would make me eligible to watch modern buildings age ungracefully? "

"Independent doctors and others say PeaceHealth is concentrating on "froufrou" projects while letting St. John Medical Center's rooms and equipment age ungracefully -- to the detriment of patients, caregivers and, ultimately, the hospital itself."

Dlatego nagradzam Ensora za spostrzegawczość i uzasadnienie. ungracefully = gracelessly 1. [adv] in a graceless manner; "she moves rather gracelessly" 2. [adv] without grace; rigidly; "they moved woodenly" http://hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/gracelessly http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/ungracefully disgracefully [adv] in a dishonorably manner or to a dishonorable degree; "his grades were disgracefully low" http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/Disgracefully "
