Two centuries old ancient temples in Beijing—Songzhu Temple and Zhizhu Temple—have been transformed into two upscale dining clubs. The transformation of the two ancient temples into upscale clubs that serve only a few people has exposed certain holes in the management and protection of historical buildings as well as the deliberate negligence of certain regulatory departments driven by interests.

A famous College will get a new classroom building to replace two dozen run-down portables on campus. The current portable classrooms are showing some wear, so the plan to build a brand new two-story building is welcomed by students and faculty. Most teachers and students think the buildings are deteriorating despite repairs. They are 15 years old and at the end of their life cycle. A brand new facility long-term, well-constructed, is just a far superior approach to creating a learning environment and will serve a great purpose.

The Protection of Old Buildings

Many old buildings have been long standing around us. However, with the increase demand of more land to build new houses or other infrastructure, whether to reserve those old buildings or replace them with new ones has been polarized in the public. In my opinion, protection or replacement depends on the value of old buildings.
For those ancient buildings, they should be well protected due to their historical value. Those buildings are part of our history, displaying how the ancient lived in the past and what features were prioritized in the building. They are not just old buildings. Just as the news reports, it is wrong to replace two old temples in Beijing with modern dining clubs. This act deliberately neglects the historical value and is just driven by profits. Local government and related offices did not realize its historical importance in cultures.
However, for those old buildings with few cultural values, it is better to remove them and give way to new modem ones for greater uses. According to this given famous college, their two portables have been worn down and still in bad condition though repaired often, which are very uncomfortable to be used for both teachers and students. If replaced with two new modem one, they may help to provide a better learning environment with advanced learning tools and air conditioners.
Therefore, it is a quick decision to reserve or not without careful analysis of the value of the old buildings. Ancient and culturally valued buildings should be conserved and maintained while worn architectures without any value should be demolished and make way for new buildings.
