▶ Your Answer :
Over the centuries,
builds are losing their own characteristics and dislike the buildings in the
old days which artistic expression can represent the specific culture of a city.
The
architectural style is determined by physical and mental state of the people,
the ability to build, the availability of materials and climatic condition.
Compare to the days centuries ago, buildings become more practical as well as
beautiful in some ways and can provide a safe and healthy environment for
people to live and work. As function and construction become more consider then
the artistic expression that leads to the point that buildings are look alike
and similar to each other.
The cost to
build can be lower as all the material using can be order in mass production
and construction also will be reliable as it already been used and tested.
Moreover, while safety is the most important issue while individual found in a
building that bring great benefit to both developer and user.
As not much
signature buildings are built, the maintenance of the old heritage buildings
become more important as it usually can impress overseas visits, government and
famous people may link to the history of buildings, old buildings are cultural
needs.
I expect we
will see an increase in the consideration of the artistic expression in the
future of buildings and hope the maintenance of old buildings can be subsidise
by governments. Even we have an urgent need in land for housing, not all the
historical old buildings need to be torn down because our shortage of lands.
