title: Cultural Identity Through Contemporary Architecture in Jeddah

creator: Mohammed Binsahal

subject: Architecture and culture; Vernacular architecture, Saudi Arabia; Apartment houses, Saudi Arabia, Designs and plans; Open spaces

description: Culture is the fundamental aspect that shapes and articulates every successful build environment. In particular, the interaction between natural resources such as climate, materials, and social impacts like traditions, beliefs, principles and lifestyles create identities that defines each location on earth. In addition, history plays a huge role in identifying the identity of a place through its cultural language. Today we live in the era of speed and evolution in all fields including the advanced industrial movements. Architecture should manipulate the development to improve the build environments. Adapting history to contemporary architectural trends will benefit humanity in a respectful way.
