Some believe buildings should be built in a way that serve purpose rather than just look beautiful. Others, however, say buildings should represent art too.
Discuss both views and give your opinion.

*****************************************

Buildings are integral part of any place as it exhibits the local community. Some people think that buildings should be having some significance along with the being beautiful. However, some people think that it should be more artistic. This essay will discuss both viewpoints before coming to a reasoned conclusion.

Buildings play a vital role in order to exhibit the local culture and helps in retaining the cultural heritage of the country. Firstly, Buildings having purpose will help in understanding the significance behind its construction for the tourist. For instance, a Hawa Mahal fort located in Rajasthan is known for its better ventilation which used to help the ruler of the state to relax during summer days. Secondly, in urban cities, there is a scarcity of the land and therefore, people are ensuring that space is being utilized effectively with a purpose.

On the other side of the argument, it is good to have the buildings to represent the local art .Firstly, It depicts the architecture of the place. Secondly, it helps others to understand the efforts required and let them understand in knowing the local culture too. For instance, Taj mahal in India which is considered to be one of the wonders on this planet displays the intricacy of the art done on the building which mesmerizes the tourists about the history of the place. Secondly, it can create local job opportunity to showcase their skills and earn from it.

To conclude, I believe that it's always better to exhibit the local art. It only helps us to preserve our art and culture but also gives a platform local people to showcase their skills. This will even help the upcoming generation to take the tradition and skills forward before it gets extinct.

Hello!

There's a BIG jump between the last two sentences of the first main paragraph!

Generally, I'm not sure you've managed to connect the art and culture aspects clearly. I'm just not seeing how the (undoubtedly wonderful) art on the Taj Mahal connects with how apartments and government buildings are constructed.

All the best,
David
