Conclusion <br />Building design is the heart of our Village landscape in both commercial and residential <br />areas. The evolution of the art of architecture offers developers infinite possibilities for <br />structural creativity. That is good, as we modern humans have an unprecedented array <br />of choices for building design for our homes and businesses. In modern, urban <br />environments the innate human appetite for experiment and change manifests exciting <br />and magnificent arrangements of structures and space. A celebration of innovation is <br />part of what gives rise to pride in our culture. Such an array of choices, however, also <br />presents us with the opportunity to deliver chaos and loss of identity in our living <br />environment. There must be certain, alternative places in our culture where tradition <br />has high value, where quaintness and tranquility are preferred over modernity and <br />innovation. <br />Volcano Village is such a place. The character of building design and utilization of <br />space in this unique settlement is like that of no other. The overwhelming majority of <br />people who live in Volcano have consistently expressed their desire to preserve the <br />historic, rural, and intimate quality of our environment. This passion of community <br />members is the inspiration for this proposal for a Volcano Village Design District. <br />
