Topic > Understanding Regionalist Architecture in Asia - 759

Regionalism in Asia is more about the search for identity and less about performance; it makes no significant contribution to the green agenda of the 21st century. Regionalism is a process; integration is its product. Understanding Regionalist Architecture Vernacular and native are two words most often associated, and these two concepts generally refer to a language or dialect of a people, associated with architecture that has been assigned a qualitative status. Discussing the importance of vernacular architecture was the main point of study published by Oliver in his book "Built to Meet Needs: Cultural Issues In Vernacular Architecture". According to Oliver, one of the most important aspects of the study of vernacular architecture is that it is in the pursuit of knowledge of the diversity of human solution to the problems of habitation and the arrangement of sacred and secular community functions. The notion of "vernacular" has a negative and pejorative connotation and is commonly described as simplistic, unrefined and undeveloped.

The term "regionalism" in architecture is constantly evolving and is not limited to the past but lives on in contemporary architecture. Our experience suggests that the presence of vernacular concepts does not dissipate as a result of hybrid interactions between different cultures, but rather evolves during this creative process. Further evolution of the condition of built space. A few years ago Ar. Rem Khoolas during a presentation combined all the major buildings constructed in the last decade into a single slide and suggested that all these buildings do not reinforce each other but rather seem to stand...... middle of paper... ... of a framework of thought in terms of worldview and methodology within which the architectural design of the future, or an approach towards the Architecture of the Future by the architect, will be created. Therefore, evaluation and manipulation of the interrelationship between global and local paradigms can be considered to have vital importance for the world of the future and provide us with a strategic framework of thinking towards the next millennium, particularly when trying to speculate on the future of architecture and the built environment. The conclusion of this discussion may be almost disappointingly simple and a matter of common sense. That is, when you want to contemplate and arrive at the Architecture of the Future, you will have to employ a GLOCAL APPROACH, which combines global and local. That is, a global vision based on local relevance..
