Contemporary Architecture of Islamic Societies Between Globalization and Tradition
The architectural intellectual interaction sound of the Islamic world has faded away. This wanning
was not by concurrence but due to social and political accretions and bushed Islamic cultural
retreated, recoiled and fell. The return to authentic Islamic architecture is just an extension of a
long dialogue between the Islamic world and its architectural heritage which had suffered of stillness
caused by the clash stun of the evolving West which escorted a declination in all branches of science
and knowledge making. The Islamic world turned to be a fertile land to cultivate any hybrid plant
nothing to do with culture and therefore whatever grew and grew fast stumpage remains hybrid
without roots. The journey towards authenticity does not intend here to restore the past, but a revival
derived its continuity and innovation of its past places trophy and fuses in modern technology.
We believe that the Muslims' flow is a type of globalization "Islamization" OR "Unity and Diversity"
where contemporary architecture in Muslim societies and cities varied and is full of a mixture in its
architecture which fused in Islam crucible of unity. It featured Fustat, Kairouan, Faz and Andalusia
each have its own character and urban fabric which is "Diversity", but retains one spirit and soul "UNITY".
We're trying here to understand and rehabilitate "Islamization" facing globalization, through conscious
understanding of Islamic history principle fragmentation layers of history (Deconstruction of History
Layers) and reorder this very rich tissues (Restructure of Time to accommodate our present and
anticipate our future and heal this status of schizophrenia that we are living in now.
It is not a hem in within oneself or an attack on others ideas or an underdevelopment thinking and
a reactionary discard of ideas. But it is an invitation to give breathe to the idea and endorse this
philosophy of "Islamization". It is an invitation to deeper understanding of the belief we are living in
and instead of watching and waiting negatively the pending days. A call to meditation viewing our
personal identity and an invitation to diligent and to faith in "unity" rather than fragmentation and
disintegration.
