Public buildings are not permanent, but at most durable and robust enough to outlast a few generations. Earth-constructed buildings, as soft architecture used for public buildings, need more care and maintenance than buildings in brick, stone, concrete and steel. The ownership and care of private and public buildings reflect social attitudes and sustainable means. The attitudes towards the durability and technical performance of building materials can lead to the rejection of earth architecture, due to the high maintenance required. Negative attitudes discourage the use of traditional earthconstructed buildings in Africa. Case studies show the ownership and care in maintenance as temporal reflectors of the communal well-being. This care or no care becomes a celebration or rejection of the built environment. The argument is that, without ownership, public buildings constructed in conventional building materials can deteriorate faster than well-accepted maintained earthconstructed buildings of cultural significance. This phenomenon should be considered if public buildings are built in contemporary earth construction. Keywords: Attitudes, cultural significant architecture, earth architecture, temporal ownership

具有文化意义的建筑中的所有权和照料：三个案例研究

公共建筑不是永久性的，但最多只能持久耐用，足以承受几代人的生命。土木建筑作为用于公共建筑的软建筑，比砖，石，混凝土和钢结构的建筑需要更多的维护和保养。私人和公共建筑的所有权和照料反映了社会态度和可持续手段。由于需要大量维护，因此对建筑材料的耐用性和技术性能的态度可能会导致废弃土建。负面态度不鼓励在非洲使用传统的土木建筑。案例研究表明，维护权和维护权是公共福祉的暂时反映。这种关心或不关心将成为对建筑环境的庆祝或拒绝。论据是，没有所有权，用常规建筑材料建造的公共建筑比公认的具有文化意义的经维护的土木建筑恶化得更快。如果在当代土方建筑中建造公共建筑，则应考虑这种现象。关键字：态度，文化重要建筑，地球建筑，临时所有权
