When I first looked through the images, I didn't notice anything remarkable about them at all. All I saw was a bunch of old buildings, probably warehouses of some sort, and possibly abandoned, due to the poor condition of some of the structures. After hearing the explanation that he removed all the doors and windows, I went back and looked again, and definitely saw them differently.
I think the idea is interesting. To me, it conveys a sense of isolation. Particularly on the ones with window frames or sills still visible, having the actual windows removed, it seems like he's trying to say how people hide themselves or their things away from others. Some of the ones where the edits are less obvious, though, seem to be more of a commentary on the blandness or bleakness of modern cities. The buildings are generally very plain and run down, with a uniform concrete gray, which definitely draws focus to the industrial nature of the environment.
