OLD VS NEW

SIGNIFICANT HISTORICAL SHOULD BE PRESERVING

     Nowadays, youngest generation will like iconic building more than history building because of it unique style and look interesting. Developer will take more places to build up iconic building for specific function only. To prevent develop jungle, they are suggest to demolish old building and build new building. For this case, actually it was great to have a new functional building compare than not really functional building just for gallery and museum purpose. But for the significant historical building like pyramid should be 100% preservation it.

     Old building should be prehistoric or preservation has become a new topic to discuss. Based on my research, most writers were agreeing to preserving old building or turn it into innovative adaptive building. For my opinion, historical building should be maintain and preservation its original façade and this point was support by one of my writer. In the article point out, old building represent cultural and practical value to people and its beneficial not only for a community culture, but also for its local economy.  A significant building will represent a place whether old building or new building. Especially for the old building was already exist from the ancient time example for the building at Rome and Egypt. When we mention about Egypt, then ours 1^st impression will be Pyramid and mummy. This is meant a historical building can be representing a place and have intrinsic value. While the building still exists, it will attract people to visit it and pushed up the economy especially hotel and restaurants, create job to local people, benefit to the folks who are fascinated by history.

     Beside on that, article also point out preservation of historic building is a one-way street. These mean we are no more chance to renovate and preservation this historical building once it is gone. Once a piece of history is destroyed, it is lost forever. To destroy historical building and replace by new high-rise or iconic building mostly is to fulfil the new era or to settle the land-lacking problem for settlement. But in the process of destroy old building actually is give harmful to surrounding environment and also earth especially they use boom to bomb the building. Another from that, the piling process for high-rise building also will crack the wall for nearby houses. It was cause inconvenience cases to neighbour. Old buildings are reminder of a city’s culture and complexity. It was a record of human development, is a process. Why we want to destroy it and replace it? If we facing of the land-lacking problem we could try to fully reuse the building without destroy it. Historical building always can attract people with its façade, material and texture. The historical building is always interesting with its style.

       Old building actually is make sense for major certain store like bookstore, restaurant, pubs, residential project like Singapore do (whole street façade maintain as old façade but interior is a totally new technology residential house). This actually is a great way to reuse the old building and this is also could be save ours environment. This is prove that old building actually is can be fully reuse without tear down an old building. A new town involves new building and historical building would be work!
