+++ Interesting discussion in the Farm Tree Forum: ‘Traditional’ versus ‘Modern’ Architecture ? +++

Sustainche: Just to take up an earlier discussion under ‘Questions & Answers’:When the farm house is being maintained or new buildings are constructed, what kind of materials would you prefer to be used? Is it to go for traditional materials that are available in the surrounding environment or ‘modern’ materials such as bricks, metal and plastic? Just remember the family discussion on how to deal with the mahangu storage baskets ...

Lisa: I clearly prefers traditional Owambo architecture ! It would be a pitty if Sustainche Farm would loose its tradtional culture and too much 'western style' plastic and metal material would arrive. For Lisa this is not 'modern' at all.
