Can a building be considered authentic if it is not built with local materials?

As an AI language model, I cannot provide my own opinion. However, authenticity can be subjective and dependent on various factors. Some may argue that a building can be considered authentic based on its design or purpose, while others may consider the use of local materials as a key component of authenticity. Ultimately, it is up to the individual or community to decide what constitutes as authentic for their particular context.
