What’s strange to me, is that doing anything traditional is simply copying other architecture. However, doing the same thing for nearly a hundred years (at least for residence housing), is not. Why are the building industry so chained to the idea that «contemporary» architecture is the only viable option, while it at the same time is copying whatever was done from the past 20 years? Why isn’t that considered copying and creative stagnation?
