There are many historical buildings that have been built by members of a
town, a community or a single family.
Buildings often stand for many years, they tell us about the past- our family’s
past, our community’s past, our country’s past.
New buildings also tell us about how we are adapting to the changes in the 21st
century by building on our heritage using fresh ideas.
