In many cities, there is little control on the design and construction of new houses. Some people think that people can choose to build houses in their own styles instead of building them with the same as the old house style in local areas. Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?

It is true in a lot of metropolises, people do not necessarily have to submit their design and construction plan to the local authorities.

Although

there are some benefits of emphasizing distinctive characteristic of their home, I argue that

this

mindset would impact on the architectural theme of the entire area.

To begin

with, building a house is a rare occasion that a person can do in limited times of their lives, so it is understandable to organize it in a personalized manner and there are undeniable advantages about it.

First

, it blows in a new wind of change to the environment, adding more vivid colour to the picture and helping the project stand out among others.

Secondly

, it reduces administration workload for the government of validating the proposed outline and policing the execution to ensure alignment with what was on the paper to what was erected.

Finally

, the nonuniformity of a residential area, at the end of the day, is not a crucial like other priorities

such

as healthcare or education.

On the other hand

, breaking through the common structure of a traditional architect can cost more in the future to restore it. A different shape and material might destroy the uniform which the town is well-known for

hence

a personal desire would be traded off by the loss of entity of a whole community. Tourists, in generally, magnet to a place for its traditional housing and by allowing local citizens to dictate their own taste to concrete their house could jeopardize an industry which is tourism.

For instance

, there is an old town in Vietnam called ‘Hoi

An

Suggestion

A

’ and all the houses there are standardized with three main compartments: living room, bedrooms and kitchen with their trademark dark yellow paints. If the authorities allowed a free style of building, the value that generations have been preserved in centuries would have been destroyed in a blink. In conclusion, I believe that preserving the same traditional home has far more benefits than transforming it based on individual preference.
