Greece for example, a country that mainly uses reinforced concrete as building material and local products (marbles, tiles, etc) has started to explore different types of technologies and materials. Cast iron, glass and large scale buldings started to appear the last 20 years, while at the same period the first eco-buildings started to develop. Many effords are made in projects like the Benaki Museum, to combine the new styles and technologies with the greek culture and architectural history and succeeded. But unfortunately, there are many cases where the merging was not that successful ![Benaki Museum at Peiraios St., Athens/Greece][1] [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/14181562939238861.jpg
