Durability in Construction: Tradition and Sustainability in 21st Century Architecture - by Richard Economakis

Richard Economakis advocates for durable, traditional architectural practices to create sustainable buildings. Economakis argues that modern construction often prioritizes short-term economics over longevity, leading to wasteful, short-lived structures. He emphasizes time-tested materials and techniques, rooted in classical design, to build resilient, environmentally friendly architecture that endures for generations, reducing ecological impact and fostering cultural continuity.
