architecture in the #Modernism , #Brutalism , #PostModernism periods were internationally - not yet being recognised for their historical and cultural values. A lot of the heritage validation systems in the world define “heritage” as something with at least 100 years of history. However, we all know that everything in our world now are developing in a rate that grows exponentially. A whole era could be replaced within 50, or even 20 years. It’s time for us to study and appreciate the rapidly changing architecture and culture behind our “current” world.
