There is an increasing number of people who are interested in excavating the history of the house or building where they live. I think people do that because they have the cognitive to protect the historical value of the buildings and the sense of connection that people felt within the exploration. In order to research their history, people can gather the knowledge and memories that elder citizens around them have and go to the libraries in their cities.
Many buildings with great historical value had been destroyed because of the wars and people’s ignorance in the past. Therefore, many people appeal for the protection of buildings. After people have the cognitive to appreciate the beauty of historical buildings, people willing to find out the history of the buildings in their own living places. What’s more, the process of exploring the stories about the buildings in their cities enhances the connection between them. Because the forms of architecture are special due to the unique elements a location has, such as weather and culture, these link everyone who lives there and make them feel united.
In order to know the history of the building where they live, one of my suggestions is to ask the elders who also live there. Because they have more experiences since the more time they have lived, they might have experienced the changes of the time of these architectures. Another suggestion is going to local libraries and searching for the information which had been recorded on paper.
In conclusion, people’s increasing interest in excavating the history of architecture in the place they live is due to their cognitive of protection after the destruction of many buildings and the sense of connection that is given to explorers. My suggestions for explorers to reach this intention are asking the local elders for help and searching for information in local libraries.
