In accordance with growth the development is changed in favour of restoration; at first everything old must be utilised and only then can something new be built. Architectural restoration emphasizes the harmony of the whole with each detail, as well as the harmony of rural settlements with the surrounding environment. Each village stands before its own vision of the future that will depend on the ability to clarify its advantages and roots of vitality
