Abstract

The emergence of a regionalization approach in the 1960s led to the emergence of globalization (due to the modernist view) following local and regional approaches (regionalized postmodernism). Today and over the years, following the fluidity of regionalism theory, various approaches have emerged, among which the two approaches of critical regionalism and bio-regionalism are the main approaches in developing countries.


The research method of this research is a combination of descriptive-analytic method in theoretical foundations and the extraction of indicators of each approach. Then, using the views of architects and architecture professors (methodology of experts), an opinion poll and evaluation of parameters are made. Finally, the critical definition of critical regional bias is redefined. Attention to bio-physical indicators in the form of a critical biologicism approach Can meet the architectural needs of the community, such as climate and environmental responses, sustainable development, sense of place and creation of architecture with identity and non-imitation and superficial eclecticism.
