Résumé :
|
In the battle between an universal global architecture and a particularized local architecture, the former seems to be winning as styles meld together across the globe. Since Kenneth Frampton's landmark essay on critical regionalism over twenty-five years ago, the century-long globalization pattern been pitted against the small, but growing impulse toward more diverse architecture conceived out of local conditions.
One architecture firm, Hutker Architects, Inc., has amassed an impressive body of work based on local traditions, since the publication of Frampton essay. The firm focuses largely on residential projects in a coastal setting of New England. This setting is more varied than a casual observer might think from wind-blown bluffs to secluded woodland settings. An architecture aimed at environmental needs of a specific region is by definition the local dialect or vernacular.
