How do you protect cultural identities in buildings?

Protecting cultural identities in buildings involves incorporating local architectural styles, materials, and traditions that reflect the community's heritage. Engaging with local stakeholders and cultural practitioners during the design process ensures that the building resonates with the community's values and history. Additionally, implementing preservation policies and adaptive reuse strategies can help maintain historical structures while allowing for modern functionality. Education and awareness about cultural significance can further enhance appreciation and protection of these identities.
