A lot of money is spent on repairing old buildings. Instead of repairing old buildings that money should be spent on knocking down old buildings and building new one. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Ancient

architecture

has become a thing of the past, we are the generation that has witnessed the transformation from conventional methods of

construction

method to prefabricated streets and till the recent development of 3-D printed buildings.

Although

development infrastructure and building is costly and time consuming: These efforts can be justified only based on the

cost

benefit ratio it provides.

Therefore

,

i

refers to the speaker or writer

I

partially agree, as it would be a better option to renovate old buildings and use them if they fulfil the prerequisites.

Firstly

, let us compare the quality of the

architecture

what our ancestors were able to create and what best we can produce today. One of the best examples would be the comparison of the Akshardam Temple at Delhi, which was constructed in the

last

decade to any ancient palaces or temples.

Although

the intention behind the

construction

of Akshardam Temple is to build a magnificent temple repairing the ancient

architecture

by using the modern technology, but the result of these good efforts is no match to any of those magnificent ancient temples or palaces, which have lasted for many centuries. Many of the older buildings in the northern part of India, namely Rajasthan, Agra, Delhi etc. Been renovated and transformed into restaurants and hotels.

This

has rejuvenated the look of the building and retained the essence of ancient

architecture

,

thus

resulting in a unique luxury experience for the quests who visit the place.

Secondly

, let us weigh the

cost

and time that goes into both these efforts,

however

Accept comma addition

however, this

this

would be a subjective analysis considering the structural stability of the building, but considering

otherwise

; definitely, repairing and renovating the existing buildings would be a

cost

effective option with the added advantage of the unwanted experience it would provide for its users. Time of

construction

would again be a subjected discussion considering the technology being used for demolition and

construction

of new buildings. To conclude, renovation of existing buildings would make life easier if the required prerequisites can be met by doing so or else the only available option would be to demolish and rebuild irrespective of the

cost

of

construction

.
