Mashup Article
Architecture is a broad, dichotomous
umbrella comprising of traditional and contemporary designs. Traditional
architecture has been publicized with an effort to maintain and preserve the essence of culture and history, yet with
the transcendence of modern day perceptions and practice, it appears to serve
its purpose as something akin to a
prison in design and creativity. However, the prevalence of contemporary
architecture increasingly avoids any criterion of quality that draws upon
evolved precedent and tradition from a prior era. Encouraging the contemporary
mindset would result in overlooking the existing
built fabric of our cities, towns and villages, furthering the disdain
of traditional cultures, and all that links a human being to his/her local history.
With centuries of culturally-segregated history, we are rapidly losing our individualistic
branches of heritage through contemporary architecture, where many current-day designers
overstep boundaries and design what
others would not dare, regardless of tradition. We are now taking a step
away from tradition, perhaps leaving widespread
damage in our wake as we pull ourselves toward a unified “culture” through
contemporary design.
