Negotiating cultural identity through the architectural representation case study: Foreign embassy in Belgrade
2013
This article reports methods and results of Master students' Diploma Thesis
and Design research on representing identity through architecture. A group of
12 students have had the task to examine potentials and limitations of
positioning and conceptualizing foreign Embassy in the context of Belgrade.
Students were expected to rethink architectural representation and to find
new possibilities for networking global aspects of identity and local aspects
of context, thus creating architecture that emphasizes and promotes culture
through its spatial and programmatic framework. Article concludes that
architecture can become a resource for understanding cultural identity. It
does not stop only at the physical, but affects the process of urban living,
negotiating between global and local dimension of urban living, making a new
culturally responsive urban landscape. [Projekat Ministarstva nauke Republike
