Abstract:
It is important to be concerned with the question of identity because of the
increasing interconnectedness of world cultures. Events and forces in
different parts of the world take on widening contexts as the physical
distance between them is bridged by the speed of social transformations
and technological advances. However, despite all these, the concept of
nationalism as a unifying force is still one widely held everywhere. This
report aims to identify those ways in which architecture has been used to
contribute to the formation of this identity.
