If you wish to express the cultural identity of a place through the built environment . . .

Then, consider the range of dynamic influences shaping the project’s location on the cultural continuum of Reproduction, Adaptation and Abstraction.

		Traditional forms and concepts being considered to represent cultural identity will reside somewhere along a continuum ranging from simple reproduction, contemporary adaptation, or a more complex abstraction.

		Determine the project’s location on the cultural continuum through an evaluation of the client’s needs, economics and budget, history, social requirements, and aesthetics.
