well, that's alike to develop the concepts of adequacy to some established targets; depending the targets and available means, that is, circumnstances, the appropriate technology will be one or anther. In any case we are speaking os specific ways of building that turn the process efficient. For example, in my country and maybe in many places elsewhere, the building processes are heavily interferred not only by constructive cultural inertias and pereferred practiced, but by cumbersome bureaucratic processes not at all conducent to building efficiency in general; however, such bureaucracy surely is having some seen as positive effects from the viewpoints of the parties detenting land properties and the heavy capacity of investment currently required for development, and even those acritically serving it. So we have that the intervention of the building process shifts benefits acording to political rule to some quite proestablishment parties, maybe causing some imbalances that one way or another are being and no duobt long term will be corrected. Depending upon your stance and ability to take perspective upon the general process you will be seeing adequcy of the constructive process or not, be it from your personal iewpoint, or that of one group or nation. So the answer is, from hat viewpoint adequacy?
