        • Towards a Critical Regionalism
          Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance

        Abstract
        In his essay ‘Towards a Critical Regionalism’ (1983) architecture historian Kenneth Frampton advocates a critical attitude towards the ongoing and globalized modernization processes. In his text, Frampton joins the analysis of French philosopher Paul Ricoeur, who explains how these processes have a major impact (if not a fatal impact) on specific regional cultures. With his term ‘Critical Regionalism’ (adopted from Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre), Frampton precisely puts forward place-based factors such as topography, climate, light and material, and calls on architects to combine these with a feeling for the tectonic aspects of architecture.
