Modern And Old Design Of Buildings

By Brian Powell


The desire of every people for development is no longer new in our community today. As a matter of fact, the idea of development started way before we were borne. Because of such development, the economy of almost all cities and countries rise. Concrete Contractor Sun Lakes came to exist just to help the people in achieving their needs and demands.

In every city or other urban places, there seem to be edifice wherever you look at. In fact, a lot of people are having shelter in one of them, which is commonly called as apartment or condominium. Tall and huge buildings are now built to cater the needs of people and to help the economy of a certain city rise. Indeed, when there are infrastructures in a certain place, more job opportunity is available for the citizens.

In order for us to fully appreciate such magnificent creation, understanding the old ways of living might be a good thing. During the times of our ancestors, houses are made of weak materials. Some are using bamboo and other wooden objects in order to build a particular building. It may look beautiful and attractive but the foundation is not that reliable.

In other words, typhoons that hit rural areas usually are not that strong as compared to urban areas. At least that is what we can say by looking on it effects. However, as a matter of fact, the level of strength is actually the same, they differ only on the effects. This is because the environment in urban areas is not capable of weakening the strength of the former.

In every building that was built, safety of residence is a must. The government is making or actually implemented laws and regulations just to make sure that builders and engineers are following such standard as to make sure that people who reside on it will not be jeopardized. So far, we understand the necessity of following such rules, and there is no or at least few, cases that were reported involving said issue.

For this reason, houses and other buildings easily destroyed when a super typhoon comes. Damages is natural to be expected whenever a calamity comes but who would want it to happen anyway. That is why concrete materials were introduced by our engineers in cooperation with the government.

Fortunately, the qualities of buildings today are stronger than before. We just have to remember that everything is subject to an end. No matter how strong a particular establishment is, there will always be a time that its foundation will get weaker. When that time comes, I am pretty sure that storms are also stronger than ever.

However, that is actually not always the case. Sometimes there are problems that no matter how hard we try to solve it, damage is really impossible to be prevented. Best example for this is when Mother Earth decided to take back what she deserves or when she gave us lessons for our misdeeds. In this particular case, there is nothing that we can do but to avoid bigger damage.

Therefore, no matter how big a building is if its foundation and the manner it was built is not proper, safety is still not ensured. It necessarily follows that quality is not equally to its appearance. One may look strong or good according to its price, but the way it work is actually the one that matters.
