26. "Most people would agree that buildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversy arises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could be better used for modern purposes. In such situations, modern development should be given precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so that contemporary needs can be served."
The ancient buildings is one of the important forms of the identification and embody of the history, preservation of the historic buildings is preserving the history. Even though this preservation sometimes disturbs the modern development plans, who should place the preservation at the first place.
As the history identification, the historic building valuation belongs to the entire society or the nation, rather than the small group or even individual. Modern planners or building businessmen always commit their activities based on the profits from contemporary markets. In other words the interests they concern about, maybe only about, is the their profits. The price of historic buildings should not be worthy of the spots under their foot. To the educators, the old buildings are impassionate patriotic lessons; in the architects' eyes, these ancient constructions reveal the distinct architectural arts; as refer to the historians, the shabby houses demonstrate the previous civilization; towards the whole human, the historic buildings means national identities and roots of the cultural spirit.
Furthermore, historic buildings play the indispensable role in the long term of development of human. Undoubtedly, it is no fault to strive to fulfill the contemporary needs of the housing. But this commitment should not bring the damage to the long time interests of the society. The historic building value is beyond the potential of housing, whose historic valuation serves the whole people ranged from before to future. We have no rights to destroy those buildings, which are transmitted from our father just as their father did. We could build the modern skyscrapers based on the knowledge accumulated for generations. However, we have on methods to rebuild the history, whose carriers of the historic buildings serve not only our generation's contemporary needs, but also the needs from the requirement of posterity of modern human's.
Admittedly, not all the old buildings reach the standards of the represent historic buildings. For most old buildings, whose main purposes are severing the problem of people housing, modern planners applying the ground to serve modern needs could make the full use the space resource, and provide the more convenient and spacious building. That should give the precedence to the modern development.
In sum, the historic buildings are always regarded as historic and cultural legacy, whose valuation extends the housing. Both the valuation in the culture, spirit and the importance during the whole history of people development determine that the historic buildings should be given the precedence over the contemporary needs. |
