Why the need of specified architectural language?

Due to the recent growth of tourism in G-B, demand in the necessity of quick built infrastructure
(buildings and facilities) has pushed back the traditional architectural style and has replaced it with
concrete built structures, although this language of architecture is not suitable for the region but people
have been using it exponentially, one because the traditional architecture is lacking the flexibility to cater
to modern needs and secondly the time and money required to carry out such a construction is
significantly more. This detachment of people with traditional architecture of G-B if not taken into
consideration will one day completely render this architectural language obsolete and it being a pillar of
culture and traditions will drastically affect how the future of G-B province turns out.
