My exploration into Architectural Text:
The Globalisation of Modern Architecture: The Impact of Politics, Economics and Social Change on Architecture and Urban Design since 1990
The text explores influential concepts in the development of architectural design, such as religion, culture, reigning countries in power, or those fighting for power. The text addresses the social development of the world, also the ever growing population and how trading ties are creating a more universalised worldly order- in current artistic styles. Even more so, the text recognises how each of these influences actually tie into each other, creating globalised design.
“Formerly the things which happened in the world had no connection among themselves … But since then all events are united in a common bundle.”
Robert Adam explores the diversity between design and the intertwined similarities which impact the worlds architecture. Arguably, with the world growing in diversity between cultures, Architecture is developing similarly world wide, working systematically through Art movements and most recently into the 'modern' styles appearing more prevalent in today's society. Nevertheless, the text also covers culturally diverse influences in design, furthermore supported by
“In relation to each segment of the earth, different people have different native lands..." The unique design style in 'different native lands' each have their own take on 'Urbanised Design', some could argue that as society develops, if the language of design spoke in unison globally, it would unify the world into one similar culture. But one cannot dismiss the value of the ancients and historical impacts of separate cultures and how the diversity in design has created so many uniquely impressive structures.
“the golden age is not behind us, but in front of us.” Maybe the unity of global Architecture would not be ignorant to culture or history, but a binding catalyst to interlink global culture.
