It has been a firestorm controversy whether old building should be left or it should be demolished for new building's spot. Myriads ofpeople assert that replacing old building with modern building is practical for people's lives. However, remained builidng can contain great historic value and can be great place for tourism.
Firstly, old remains can teach people history. Generally, knowing histoy is important as a matter of finding people's identity and they way they should pursue. Ancient builidng remain can perform this well especially if it is built for specific purpose and specific time. For example, the Auschueitz prison camp in genrman still now shows the brutal history of natzi: broken massive jewish glasses, gass room, lined up cages with thick atmosphere for brick labor places. As german learned that Auschuwitz is for masacring the while jewish populaiton and knew that is wrong through the Auschuwitz remains for them Auschuwitz is not just an out dated and hideous looking but great history teacher to not to repeat their brutal history.
Secondly, old and historic building can be great tourism spot. Generally, for those countries known for renown tourism place contain lots of old buildings. For example, in greek almost one million tourist come and go as there are numerous catchy historic builidng sructures. Especially, the parathanon temple and the greek myth's statues caught people's eyes. For that more and more poeple come to greek and enjoy the left remains. As greek accumulated more money through tourism if ther is a remodel plan for removing old remains greek residents protest it.
To sum up, in outwards, making more place for modern and new builidng seems more attractive. However, if that means to remove the historic building it should be halted as it is priceless as for history teacher and great money supplies. |
