ARCHITECTURAL GLOBALIZATION

If the spatial identity is the result of the interaction between the place in all its
dimensions with the occupants and which produces professional and architectural
output linked to the specificity of the place itself, the non-spatial identity which
appeared recently produced a new state of architecture which is not attached to
the place and its circumstances until the product has become similar buildings
used as they are in diverse countries, whatever their circumstances. They include
large shopping malls and repeated residential compounds.
Therefore, architecture cannot live in isolation from globalization, and
architectural globalization has its pros and cont which requires that we should deal
with them wisely through the «Manifesto» which includes a set of guidelines and
general principles and has the ability to evolve depending on the circumstances.
Globalization is desirable away from colonial ideas and no way for integration and
cooperation in general, provided that the weak should put mechanisms and ways
of cooperation so as the powerful can not to take advantage of their weakness.
Otherwise, we are facing a big gap between the concept of globalization, which
aims to make the thing as global and is available without limits, and the application
that made it possible for some countries to control the capabilities of other
countries, which resembles colonialism in various forms.
The most important question is whether architectural globalization means
to make the architectural work as global in the specifications, tools and
quality, or that the work becomes global because of the one who made its
architectural design is global and does not belong to the same country…?
Does architectural globalization require the lack of local identity..!?
