Regionalism in Architecture and Art
The article discusses the concept of "Critical Regionalism" in architecture, a movement that focuses on the connection between a building and its location while emphasizing self-criticism as a foundation for improving designs. This approach aims to direct architecture in a way that meets the needs of the local environment and culture, with a strong emphasis on sustainability. It includes buildings that reflect the identity of the place and achieve elements of sustainability and humaneness. Throughout history, Indian and Islamic architecture have served as prominent models of this movement, as does the example of the King Abdulaziz Historical Center in Riyadh, which embodies identity and sustainable architecture. However, critical regionalism remains somewhat in the shadow due to the influence of market forces and trends. Nevertheless, it remains a distinctive movement characterized by its difficulty, as it depends on architecture’s responsiveness to the place while maintaining the spirit of the era. It is considered one of the most important approaches that can enhance the cultural identity of buildings and ensure their sustainability.
