The building reflected the culture of society

The topic for today is In the past, building reflected the culture of a society. But today all modern building look alike. How true do you think this is ?

According to me, I am agree with this motion that building reflected the culture of a society. From the past a hundred years ago  until now human civilization already grow up and totality change a hundred percent now.  If we looked society activity in past, they coexist and help each other. Building in the past only look like a ancient house that no have room. Just a whole empty room and people live in there as community. They live with team work and also live nomanden (move from one place to another place). From the architecture also building in the past look so simple, because the culture in that era is  only focused how to survive in live with nomanden system for move to find new area that available and serve enough food for their community.

In the Greek and Rome era, the building more variation, many building build depend on  the society needed and also the function of building it self.  People in that era already stay in one area and try to grow and develop their own area for staying. The characteristic building in this era is many building built by great art and architecture, its mean in that era people already learn about sculpt, drawing, writing and also learn about art. People in this era live with own tradition to make every people in that place more united and also get entertain like they build an arena for gladiator war as a big event. They also built a place for people pray like church or any building related with religion function.

Why its become happened ??,  why only with the building characteristic can reflected the culture of society ?. For answer it I will explain my argument about this topic. The building can reflected the culture of society because from the function of building we can now the activity of every people usually doing. Example sport hall it indicated if people in that era like sport,  Every activities we it will be describe with the building that already build. In that era already build a church for christian people for pray, a statue as symbol and much more.

Modern building can describe how society look alike now, too much tower and also private building like apartment can indicated   our society now is individualistic. We can looked now people life in their apartment, own house with high  fence, and difficult for access.  In my opinion why modern building look alike, its because first, we don't have enough spot for built any building or house now, we just can decorate and to grow the building just in inside building and grow up make the building more higher like tower or apartment. Second, many developer utilize this condition to open the business in property like they build an apartment, elite housing, simple housing, and other. Every people like to buy this house because it more simple than must build new house by their self because need a lot of money for build in now days. Third, today the art in building not see from the outside and what kind the shape of that building   but common people now more interest with building that have good and interesting decoration in inside room or building. The mind set people now is how to make the limited space in a room to be comfortable for staying in there, to make it simple its needed the designer services. Now to many shape of building look alike, but totality different in inside room and its depend on    taste of art every people, like we can make a atmosphere in a room like in beach, or like in a village, or anything people want by giving decoration in inside room.

On the other hand, my conclusion about this topic is I agree with this motion that in the past building reflected the culture of society. But today its cannot be more because all building already look alike  because of limited area, expensive cost, and changing the mind set of the art to decorate limited room to be more comfortable with many variation decoration. To see the culture of society now is more precise to see from society activity every days and how they are do the interaction each other.
