The destruction of a valuable heritage by Friedrich Ragette – 1974 (Extract)
Everybody who is aware of the beauty of Lebanese houses and villages witnesses with great concern the rapid destruction of a valuable heritage. It is sad fact that today’s building activities do not respect the architectural values of the past, but rather follow practices which are diametrically opposed to traditional habits.
With the introduction of contemporary building methods and materials, the unity of construction and landscape has been lost. The stonemasons trade is dying out, and with it the skill of working in stone. Also lacking is the feeling for harmony and proportion; new buildings spring up in every conceivable shape and without any relationship to their surroundings.
The spectacular economic growth of the country also brought about a lack of respect for civic interests… etc…

In general the Lebanese do not sufficiently appreciate good and orderly design… etc…
