Cities and houses are made by the people. And where they build, they should consider going vernacular/traditional,
to get something that is sustainable, eco-friendly, valuable, affordable, beautiful, livable and eternal.
Agree with this - we need to stop levelling and uglyfying our cities

Classical is the base we build upon.
Something to think about for once. Just breathe it in.
"The symbolic hard currency of architecture is classical,...
It's gold in the bank. The other stuff is leveraged buy-outs and soybean futures."
- Jaquelin T. Robertson
“The thing of first importance in architecture is beauty.”
- Zivkovich-Connolly
