In some ways, '''architecture can be as much a barrier to culture and heritage as a supporting mechanism for it'''. It can restrict access to tangible objects while creating an unnecessary container for intangible ones. This is particularly the case when we need to pay entry to museums and art galleries, when their opening hours are restrictive, when they are crowded or unappealing, when they do not meet the needs of certain groups, and when collection items are not available for public viewing. As well, the need to 'build something' is sometimes not possible on sites of intrinsic cultural and historical value. | In some ways, '''architecture can be as much a barrier to culture and heritage as a supporting mechanism for it'''.
