An Eyeopener ...

This is something about conserving old buildings in India. I was talking to my friend who is an architect and she mentioned so many things about the conservational aspects, which was really an eye opener for me and thought I should include it in my information depo. Well am really not sure how this is working in other parts of the world, coz I am not an expert in architectural field :) ( I am sure it is the same)

One of the most unique and valid point which made me think was, how can we conserve old buildings, whether it may be of historical importance or not? Well here is the answer... In countries like India which is high in population, when people tend to construct more new buildings it makes the country more congested (which already is), this results in more environmental calamities. When I say environmental calamities it includes many aspects and would like to mention a few .. for example, if we start constructing new buildings we are going to destroy/eradicate more nature (which includes trees, plants, air flow etc etc), and this causes lots of pollution and as a matter of fact, recently the whole world is talking about Global Warming.

So in order to avoid all the above, her solution or rather her suggestion was to renovate the existing old buildings. By doing this we can achieve three things 1. preserve old buildings and save more space in the country and allow the nature to be at peace. 2. If the old building is of historical importance we don't loose the history/culture (it is always something pleasant to visit a place which has some historical importance). 3. I correlated her thoughts about preserving old buildings with Global Warming, I strongly believe that this will help us save the nature.
When I talked to her it was really an eye opener and I decided to renovate one or two old buildings and preserve it and at the same time help the community to save the nature. So you all can think about it.

Adios..
