Many people believe that the construction of new public buildings like a museum, and art galleries are better than renovating the old ones. To what extent do you agree?

Many today argue that public places

such

as museums and galleries should be located in historical

buildings

. Others think that making new public

buildings

is better than refurbishing the old ones. In

this

essay, we will discuss both points of view

then

followed by a reasoned conclusion. On the one hand, old

buildings

are the right place for a museum with a great historical atmosphere inside and it looks harmonical when the beautiful exterior is connected with the same interior.

Moreover

, the old

buildings

also

have an architectural value and could be part of art.

For example

, the art museum in Venice is located in the centre of the city in a building that was built in the 15th century, and in

this

case, it is impossible to imagine how to integrate the new construction into the historical quarter.

On the other hand

, for public places, there are necessary big areas which are not frequently possible to get in old

buildings

and the best decision, in

this

case, will be to build a new one.

In addition

, in modern construction, it is possible to create important engineering communications,

such

as security systems, air conditioning, wet control, fire safety, and many others, which are difficult to integrate into old builds.

For instance

, only fires demolished about 1% of worldwide cultural legacy in the 20th century.

To conclude

, despite all drawbacks of old

buildings

, I strongly believe that frequently they look nicer than new ones. In my opinion, the best way for public

buildings

is to save the facade of old builds but make new constructions inside with all necessary communications.
