XXI century is the age of modern architecture and tall buildings.
Do they spoil the view of our city?

Hello!My name is Luba Rusanova. I am a very honest person. I have many friends in my class because I'm friendly. I'm not very decisive that is why I work best in a group. I don't like to get up early. I dislike when people are sad. I'm good at Mathematics. I like spending a lot of time with my friends. I like to go shopping. Also I like sport very much. I spend two hours a day watching TV. I'm interested in computers. I spend a lot of time surfing the Net. Sometimes I go for a walk with my dog.

Hi! I'm Polina Barashkova. I really love my class. I have a lot of friends. My birthday is on 14, February. I'm really hard-working. For example, I can spend all day long doing my homework. I have good marks in all school subjects. I have very original ideas and some of them are really crazy. For me the best way to do something is to do it in a group of my friends. I think I'm kind and friendly. In my opinion I'm reliable. My best friend is Luba. We love to spend time together. We are both interested in same things. For example, we both like playing the ball. We are good at sport. When we are together we like going for a walk, listening to music and dancing.

We ask for a lot from our buildings. They have to keep out the rain, wind. They need to store our stuff, keep us warm when it's cold, and keep us cool when it's too hot. We also like our buildings to be well constructed and beautiful. Architecture is the important art and science of making buildings. Buildings also provide security. Some of the world's most permanent structures were built to defend against enemies. Some of the most impressive buildings provide places for worship. Temples, churches, and mosques must meet spiritual needs. There is a great number of them in our city. Some buildings are just for showing off. Kings and emperors insisted on grand palaces and castles. People with money have always demanded that architecture display their wealth. Today, large corporations, governments and universities demonstrate their importance by putting up impressive buildings. Architects today design all kinds of buildings. Our way of life calls for office buildings, large apartment complexes, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, airports, and hotels. The XXIst century is the age of modern architecture and tall buildings.That is why there was the heated discussion on the spread of tall structures (Gazpromcity is one of them). Some think skyscrapers spoil the view of our city. The others suppose that high structures improve its skyline. And what do you think?
