The belief in Imports is ruining the independence
About the loss of the local initiatives
What comes from abroad, that must be good, - and if it is also funded, then you must go for it!
Subconsciously (hopefully) and unintentionally (hopefully) we have adopted the system of western construction models. Nobody has forced us. We should have realized that the energy required to maintain the buildings according to these models is immense and important resources are lost. The loss to our local building traditions is irreparable. As university teachers, we do not dare to point out these serious mistakes, but rather continue to work hard so that our graduates are able to work worldwide. In the long term however, we have done no service to the environment. We have also opted not to work towards developing local customized solutions.
The thawing water from the mountains and the flooding waters from the Bay of Bengal have flooded vast tracts of land in the past. We should have developed local solutions according to old practices. Instead, our answers are the energy-consuming and environmentally destructive high-rise hotels on the coast lines!
