The author objects to modern buildings because they lack connection to local culture and history.

The author means these buildings were not meant for daily living but for purposes like tourism or preserving history.

The author prefers preserving historical buildings in Al Bastikiya because they maintain cultural heritage, while adaptive reuse in Muharraq is a compromise.

The phrase means it's more sustainable to reuse old buildings than to demolish them and build new ones, which use more resources.

The author believes buildings represent culture and identity, and preserving them is key to maintaining cultural continuity.

Preserving old buildings is important, especially if they have historical or cultural value. Unsafe or useless buildings may need replacing.

Losing things from the past means losing history, identity, and culture. These things help us understand the past.

We are more likely to lose digital things in the future because they are more vulnerable to technological changes. Physical objects last longer.

Criteria for preservation:

• Historical significance

• Cultural value

• Aesthetic beauty

• Durability and condition

• Functionality

The author objects to 'anonymous, modern, high-rise buildings' because the city's traditional buildings won't be preserved, and the author will no longer recognize the city.

When the author says Al Bastikiya and Beit al Jasra were 'not intended to be functioning communities for local residents', he means the heritages aren't public places, which don't serve residents for individual purpose.

The author may prefer the approach to preservation in Al Bastikiya. And i agree with him. Because the preservation in Al Bastikiya attracts traditional crafts to appear.

The statement 'the greenest building is one that is already built' means the heritages or built buildings are the most environmentally friendly.

The author sees the relationship between buildings and culture by listing the advantages of heritages, with the emotional and cultural meaning of the heritages.

I think it's better to try to preserve old buildings. Because, they have a long history of unique culture and reflect the art of many generations.

I think when something from the past disappears, the first thing will be lost is memory with cultural meaning.

In the future, I think we are more likely to lose physical things. Because nowadays, with the fast-growing development of internet, old buildings are endangered to be lost due to digital expansion.

History makes an object, a building or a record worth preserving. Levels of criteria:

the author objects to modern building because they dont fit in with the culture and the history, which make it seems a bit odd.

Preserving the older building is a way to maining the historical and cultural, it is like preserving the pass. Unless if the building offers nothing towards history, it is better to tear it down.

Losing the past is like losing the root of a cultural, losing the pass means losing its historical value. These things must be preserve.

We are losing them newer generation don't really care much about the pass, and the progress of technology makes it even harder to preserving things like these.

List:

He mean those new buildings are not made for people to live and enjoy every day. They are build more for business, money, or showing off, not for real community life

Because they save history and culture, while modern buildings lose it

the author means these places were restored mainly for tourism and show, not as real neighborhoods for residents to live in.

It is usually better to preserve old buildings, especially if they are beautiful or historically important, because they hold culture and identity.

When something from the past disappears, we lose not only the object but also the memories, traditions, and sense of connection attached to it.

In the future, we are more likely to lose digital things, since technology changes quickly and digital files can easily be deleted or become unreadable.

An object or building is worth preserving if it has

• Historical significance

• Cultural identity

• Educational value

• Rarity

• Practicality
