In recent years, building accommodations in different styles as existing ones is less rigorous. This phenomenon gives individuals more freedom to construct their houses in their own styles. Undoubtedly, this fosters several benefits to local area, namely, modernization and cost-efficiency which can surpass some potential drawbacks.
On the one hand, building new houses in new styles can lose its historical values and appeals to travellers. Historical buildings usually possess great story-tellers and distinct antique characters that facilitate favourable conditions for local tourism to grow. If there is some alteration take place, it might interfere the buildings’s pre-existing beauty, hence, lose its appeal. For instance, Hoi An is one of the top-notch destinations for travellers based on its inherently renowned antique atmosphere, which, obviously, is considered as a crucial concentrated target to develop economic sector. If there is a number of buildings were to be transformed to modern houses, the antique atmosphere of the whole area would be undermined, which, in turn, lose its appeal to travellers. As a consequence, it can affect the livelihood of the local people, simultaneously, hinder the potential of gaining financial benefits for local area.
On the other hand, newly-styled accommodation allows for more architectural freedom, leading to uniqueness of each house that can make contribution to modernization of cities. The uniqueness can reflect inhabitan’s personal asthetic and architectural skills of designers, which foster dynamism and validity of houses. Basing on vividity of buildings, the absence of cosmopolitan atmosphere will be generated which will bring attention-grabbing locations to people from varied cultures. Ho Chi Minh city, for example, via combination between novel designs and skills of designers, various construction works have been transformed. These innovative activities have eventually given city a sense of modernization, with many residents from different countries.
Furthermore, constructing houses in new styles can give inhabitans cost-effective solutions for their housing ambience. Modern-day housing tend to integrate many functions in one place. By implemention of adding several activities simultaneously in one location can alleviate financial burden of repairment. For instance, the living room, the dining room, and the kitchen can be constructed without a seperating wall. This, in turn, does away with the need of building materials, which might incur more expenses for residents.
To conclude, although contructing houses in novel styles can have the risk of losing its cultural and historical values, this phenomenon still has several advantages, such as, fostering the modernization of the whole city and providing cost-effective benefits for inhabitans.
