This week’s topic was critical regionalism, a topic that I was unfamiliar with before the start of this semester. Previously I thought that critical regionalism was just about analyzing common architecture in a particular location and being critical of a “global” architectural style that was being forced on to a place.
Now after reading Tzonis and Lefaivre’s Critical regionalism I have come to find that critical regionalism is the response to an ever-growing global architecture style. Tzonis and Lefaivre believed that every architect should have the universal skill of being able to design their buildings using the same architectural language common to its location while still being able to respond to “global issues''. The goal is to avoid buildings losing their sense of place just to fit in with the rest of the world.
