Some people think that newly built houses should follow the style of the old houses in the local areas, while others think that people should have freedom to build houses of their own styles. Discuss both views and give your own opinion. Many people would argue that the façade of buildings in a city plays an important role in reflecting the identity and characteristics of its community. Regarding preserving past heritage, there is a debate as to whether there should be policies for new structures to mimic their domestic architectural traditions. Although, I totally admire the objective of the idea, I believe to accept it thoroughly is to overlook significant changes in the modern worlds. Let’s begin by looking at the merits of the argument. It is needless to say that following traditional architecture as a symbol of cultural heritage, is invaluable. In this way, the new generations can find the opportunity to link to their ancestors and feel a strong connection to a profoundly worthy background as a cultural support. Moreover, traditionally in the past, houses were made by means of accessible materials existing in the environment. For example, in the north pole homes were made from of ice or in forests the houses were built mostly by with wood of the very forest of that area. Therefore, not only were houses totally recyclable, but also they looked visually in harmony with their surrounding nature. Turning to the other side of the argument, it must be said that the evolving world has changed the necessities of human’s humans’ house. Firstly, while in the previous centuries houses were huge and usually they were occupying extended areas of lands, in the new era due to the new increasing culture of individuality, plus heavy population density especially in big cities, turning to small apartments and sky scratchers scrapers seems inevitable. Moreover, in respect to the growing contemporary energy crisis, neglecting technological advances in urbanization like energy efficient walls and windows appears not to be feasible. Besides, new buildings using the latest materials and construction methods has have led to more strengthened structures in cases of confrontingin the event of natural disasters like earthquakes. To sum up, obliging mandating the local façade of the old architectures for instead of the new buildings could be a precious symbolic preserve for a society’s cultural heritage; however, the contemporary era has changed the human needs so much so that the previous answers to even housing style necessities does not seem logical.
