In the past, buildings often reflected the culture of a society but today
all modern buildings look alike and cities throughout the world are becoming
more and more similar.
What do you think is the reason for this, and is it a good thing or a bad
thing?
Model Answer:
Every city has its architectural character, but the similarities between
cities are more obvious these days than in the past. In my opinion, one reason
for this is the high price of land.
In most large cities, land is scarce and consequently it is very valuable.
This has led to the construction of tall buildings which occupy only a small
area of land while providing lots of floor space where people can live or work.
Buildings of this type are made of concrete and steel and can be built
comparatively quickly using prefabricated materials. They do not use local
materials, such as stone, timber or brick, which used to give cities their
individual character. In consequence many cities. now look very much the same
and you might not know whether you were in Brisbane, Bangkok or Berlin when you
are on the street.
While I realise that we cannot stand in the way of progress, I believe that
cities should try to keep some individuality. For example, in Paris it is
prohibited to build very tall buildings in the centre of the city, as this would
spoil the overall appearance of the skyline. Other cities have chosen to design
unique buildings to ensure they look different. The twin towers in Kuala Lumpur
or the Opera House in Sydney are examples of this approach, and I agree with
this kind of initiative.
All in all, although it is regrettable that modem cities look similar, I
tend to feel that this is unavoidable. However, it can be argued that, even if
the buildings are similar, cities will maintain their own character as a result
of cultural diversity, the terrain and the climate, which ultimately determine
how people live.
