There’s a lot that we need to know about Scottish architecture,Preserving Edinburgh History through Architecture Articles first and foremost they love conserving and restoring old historical structure so that they can showcase them to the world. One of the best home for these known historical structures is Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. It has one of the best in historical structure in Scotland, they have the busy Royal Mile in which is known for having a 1 mile stretch of tourist attraction, which just means more historical buildings that we can feast our eyes into. I think that in terms of architectural designs, most architects Edinburgh has focuses on conservation and restoration as well as preservation. It is kind of one of the passion of architects Edinburgh employs. The fact that one of their best assets is having massive medieval style structures that can attract a lot of tourists from around the world is one motivation for architects Edinburgh has.

Why most architects do wants a piece of historical conservation for structures in Edinburgh? Well, the fact that it is one way of giving back to the city, it has a lot of known tradition and culture that dates back even in the early 17th century and having these establishments that reminds them of their old glory royal days is truly something to cherish. So, for the architects Edinburgh has, it is sort of an honor to work with making these fine piece of treasures from the past be a part of its future. Sort of a cliché but it is rather true. Ask any well-known architecture and they would answer that working in something which spells out history is not only a good thing but an honor as well.  They would say that if a project like that comes their way, they would grab it in a heart beat.

It is true what they say about historical structures, they tend to give people a piece of history by just one look at them, a simple experience that they were a part of it by just being in the establishment itself. So, when it comes to architects who work on projects like conservation or restoration, they take pride for it, because it’s their means of giving back to the ones who started them all. It is a simple yet practical reason for architects Edinburgh has, to fully accept. The mere fact that historical structures are going extinct on some areas is enough to satisfy any architects mind on working on restoration projects.

There are a lot of various causes why historical structures are being extinct and one of them is the progress and evolution of modernization in architecture. Of course as time passes by a lot of causes can be seen, there is Mother Nature or even time (old age) that is why architects Edinburgh works with are the best of the best. They make sure that the conservation of historical structures are in place and is strong not only in appearance but in foundation as well. As we go on we will see how much of the Edinburgh’s structural designs will change but the fact remains the same that historical establishments will remains the same and will be appreciated for many years to come.
