This book explores how the concept of ‘region’ has evolved over time and shaped architectural culture and practice.

It questions what the ‘region’ and ‘regional’ mean for architectural cultures past and present, and speculates on what forms and in which senses they might exist in future. To that end, the contributions explore region as a real geographical site of evolving socio-economic activity, as a mythical locus of enduring value, as a gatekeeper of indigenous crafts and vernacular techniques, as a site of architectural and artistic imagination, and as a repository of contested, conflicted and mobile identities.

The contributing chapters take these themes from the theoretical page to architectural and urban practice, and from the scale of the domestic hearth to the archipelago and international law, avoiding the more predictable, long-standing trope of viewing architectural regionalism purely as a matter of style.

Curated into four key areas, the contributions come from scholars in the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Australia, Italy, Serbia, India, Spain, Africa, Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Iran, Bangladesh, China, Greece, Russia and Singapore. Together, they provide an essential volume for students, researchers and professionals.

Cagri Sanliturk is a Lecturer in Architecture and Politics at Loughborough University. His research and publications focus on the relation between theory and practice, seeking to understand architecture through the lenses of politics, performance art, visual art and narrative. He is particularly interested in exploring everyday life and spatial practices, often in situ with real communities, and in tracing how these relate to the controlling power within conflicted and divided societies.
