For some context I am a student doing my bachelors degree currently and have just finished first year, due to where I come from i have always preferred the older styles something with more as i like to call them visual anchors instead of just flat walls. I have recently actually started working on a book / theory i promised myself i would write throughout my degrees and I've hit a point of talking about traditional methods, styles etc and even mixing modern technology with traditional method which is often considered pastiche even though i usually stick to fully traditional, i personally am not a fan of the term as without looking back and taking things from styles not much we have now would exist. for example some of the most loved buildings near me are things a lot of modern architect would call pastiche even though some are originals too for context some are Tudor houses built in around 1520 i believe where some others are from 1980-90 the locals to me love them i just wanted to know some other opinions as architecture especially theory never works in a echo chamber some other random bit about me why i love older types and traditions, i have worked as a architectural assistant, stonemasons hand, joiner, and labourer which could definitely be of some influence to me and my way of designing which is using old and new methods such as the golden orders etc so i spend a lot of time with a compass as opposed to CAD also i know ornamentation is more complex and can be more expensive but there are plenty of projects where a modern façade had cost exactly the same as a more traditional one also let me know if i can include any of your opinions with or without name in my theory work i still have a long time to go and develop but ive been loving it so far i decided on becoming an architect when i was like 6 so I'm getting there.
