I don't think we want 100yr old buildings (except for history like a famous temple etc.). Certainly in my country old buildings are not designed in any environmentally conscious way. They aren't energy saving. They aren't in any way designed to be naturally cooler in the summer or hotter in the winter. They aren't designed for the changing needs of society which went from walking and horses 100 years ago whatever it is today. Why would I think a building made today is going to be a good building for the needs of people 100yrs from now?
- Retric 6y agoMany old buildings where designed to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Often those features have been removed as historically airflow kept things cool where today you want to maintain AC. It’s something of a design failure of modern buildings where walking outside when it’s 80f is pleasant but inside you need AC at those temperatures.
