“Some people think that new houses should be built in the same style as older houses in the local area. Others disagree and say that local authorities should allow people to build houses in the styles of their own choice. Discuss both views and give your opinion.”
There is often a dichotomy in opinion regarding the model of new houses being built in a residential area. While few opine that they should confirm to the pattern of the existing homes in a locality, yet others say residents ought to be permitted by authorities to construct homes according to their taste.
Firstly, change is the way of life and without it progress is not possible. Hence, people ought to be given permission to build houses to suit the needs of the present times. For instance, people now have two or more cars in their homes and so a larger parking space is a must in modern homes. Secondly, with new inventions in stronger and cheaper building material, the design of homes can be made better. Moreover, the advent of technology and computers enables architects to plan innovative structures that are pleasing to the eye. This makes dwelling places more attractive and beautiful.
On the contrary, with varied constructional designs of houses in a local area, it looks somewhat odd and incongruous. Besides, these new homes may overshadow the older residences or even inconvenience people.
To conclude, I believe, while the good points and usefulness of old designs of homes should be retained for the benefit of people living in a residential area, citizens should be allowed to create homes of their own choice with modern architecture to make the best of technology
