Looking at the products of the others who came before us, gives evidence that what yesterday’s architecture brought to meet a need is the same as today's architecture. The struggle remains towards what his society wants until its product is distinguished, and his message is past even if it conflicts with others because what is written about it is what perpetuates the products of sound rules. The test is for a person and the choice is for him in his correctness and error ... and his struggle in what he does is with the correct outcome, and what he does with the product of error.
I think it is important to determine who has the right to choose what is worthy of the architecture of the past, and how to present it in a way that reconciles the spirit of yesterday with the mood of today!

Great buildings adapt to new times, not always in accordance with the architects vision.
I agree that Great buildings adapt to new times, not always following the architect’s vision. Today architecture can integrate the good lesson of the past to the most advanced building technologies, materials, and systems but a good architecture solution, in accordance with its local climate, will be timeless, regardless of aesthetic language or building rules. The big challenge today, at least in Brazil, is to build in mass with quality. The civil construction market needs to understand that the product of their choices can impact users 'satisfaction and also in the cities' production. The project needs to integrate the specialties of engineers and architects aiming at an adequate solution for today. The essence of the users' needs is still the same but the product offered by the real estate market goes far beyond.
