　In modern cities, erections have become one of city’s identities, representing architect’s concept and people’s esthetic preference. Some people insist buildings should be built in more traditional styles, in order to highline the cultural identity, while some people believe it is unnecessary.
　　Admittedly, traditional styled buildings are cultural legacy of our ancestors, which represent a history of thousands years. But they falsely take the assumption that traditional building is the only type of architecture that reflects culture. Actually, a nation’s culture is constituted with a lot of elements, covering architecture, festivals and customs, and can be classified into historic culture and modern culture. Therefore, regarding traditional styled buildings as cultural identity is one-sided and partial.

　　I do agree that buildings should be designed as a symbol of a nation’s culture, but I don’t agree that the more traditional styled buildings, the more cultural distinctive our nation is. So, I my opinion, I suggest the government should develop multiple building styles, incorporating both the traditional style and the modern style. To begin with, our culture is developing with the time, which makes itself different from periods. That’s why there are traditional style of old pried and modern style of nowadays.

　　Therefore, the combination of the traditional and the modern can fully unfold cultures of different eras. For example, most England cities I visited are pride for both their historic buildings and modern skyscrapers. Manchester’s imperial war museum, a perfect combination with history and modern design, has an external appearance like a flying machine and many internal exhibitions like a mysterious kingdom. What’s more, using modern architectural technology can help the government conserve old buildings better. Once all the historic architectural heritages are repaired, a clear vision of real traditional culture would be presented.
