They are often integrated systems in which people act, behave and live. Most of the population inhabiting these built environments as well as the people visiting them strive to safeguard their established architecture, culture, and system of settings. They have an uniqueness about them, they are distinct, recognizable, generated by their site, location, climate, and locally sourced materials and construction techniques.

Internationalism is simply the transformation / unification of the divided world into a barrier free one, where ideas and concepts are shared and practiced all over the planet without much interference from particular countries and their systems.

Often contrasted with emic Objectives The aim of this design research is to counter the Regionless lack of meaning or even irrelevance of universalist modern architecture by studying and having a thorough understanding of a region s history in terms of geography, site, climate, culture as far as it impacts upon defining a system of building. 2 2 Oxford Dictionary of English, Oxford University Press, 2003.6 6 Definition of Etic Studying or describing a particular language or culture in a way that is general, nonstructural, and objective in its perspective.

The modern challenge then becomes to combine function and aesthetic value in-to an enduring architecture that cooperates with nature and works in concert with ecological principles. These methods become the region s cultural knowledge which is embedded by the force of its traditions. Such methods become practiced unconsciously and are part of everyday living.
It is not enough to merely overlay these passive systems onto the new 3 Oxford Dictionary of English, Oxford University Press, Harris Butt Architecture, Profile. 6 For example a regionalist architect has to have a crucial and clear understanding of passive design and can integrate that into the new regionalist architecture. 5 Architectural form is in part a manifestation of energy flows that are always present in a building. The forms we conceive are really patterns, and patterns are the configurations of relationships between natural systems. When combining such new design information with traditional design information, to create a modern regional architecture that reflects its place on earth, it is important to respect the ecology of that place, the underlying order of all living things there.
As part of this, appropriate precedents and their elements are analysed. The most effective schemes are those that are so carefully woven together that they appear seamless and read as an integrated whole.8 8 2.0 METHODOLOGY 2.1 Research This project will outline what a region is and how the application of regionalism can be applied to modern architecture. (New York: John Wiley And Sons, 2001), Ibid.7 7 regionalist architectural scheme. Sun, Wind, and Light: Architectural Design Strategies, 2 nd ed. 5 Brown, G.Z and Mark De Kay.
The form of the lodge therefore reflects the integration of the regions unique characteristics. 2.2 Design The design development of the fishing lodge is influenced by its region. It provides an understanding of how the successful elements of architectural precedents affect design and influence form.
2.3 Program In order to fully capture the essence of the region/sites sense of place, the choice to design a lodge that caters for fishing took place. All of this culminates in a mixture of hand and digital drawings, and data presentation describing the final design. This involves travelling to the region and experiencing these characteristics first hand, experiencing the lifestyle of the region.
The concept of cultural landscape stems from geography. But it has remained basic to one geography, which has been characterised as either dealing with the reality systems or the regional. 7 The term regionalism is used in many different disciplines, and has proved useful in many different disciplines, including economics, planning, ecology, sociology, folklore, history, archaeology, anthropology, marketing etc. They comprise those systems of settings in within which people live act and behave. Built environments are more than just buildings. The investigation of these requirements with the combined knowledge of what it means to create something that reflects its context will form the foundation of the design.9 9 3.0 CURRENT STATE OF KNOWLEDGE 3.1 Definition of Regionalism Regionalism is the study of regions but in this research, it is the regional architecture that will be the focus.
We shall see that they are important to cultural landscapes. Whereas regional landscapes have been neglected, the study of climate, vegetation, and soils and their landscapes related to geomorphology and regional geology has not been integrated with human geography and social science.
