All around us, we see symbols of a dislocated rootless global paradigm dominating our skylines. Our built environment shapes our sense of self, our sense of place and our traditions.   Building tradition have modified and evolved with the social, economic and the cultural need of the age.   Tradition in building serves us in creating a balance between nature and society, optimal utilization of natural resources and of local skills and craftsmanship.   As strong forces currently drive the creation of new architecture and urban design, the time is now or never to instill in this huge process a sense of “appropriateness” to the local context.
