issue 16的思路

想了很久都想不到，224范文上的超短也有点牵强

题目的意思是只局限于现在的public buildings吗？如果写紫禁城之类的是不是不符合要求呢？

mm能不能把题目post一下， 以符合版规:

Issue 16

"Public buildings reveal much about the attitudes and values of the society that builds them.Today's new schools, courthouses,airports,and libraries,for example, reflect the attitudes and values of today's society."

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above.Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations,or reading.

1. In a country lack of democracy and free speech, the public has no influence on the design of the public buildings.

However, it does reflect ... when the public are invloved in the decision making process. For example, Vienam Memorial and most recent lower Manhattan reconstruction, ie. the selection of the Reflective waterfall memorial design.
