Abstract

The preservation of privacy and identity is very important to be sure that the architecture today is being as an extension of the previous time architecture and also as a bridge to the architecture of tomorrow. The form is an important part of the dedication of architectural identity, when the principles of architecture and sustainability are being understood; the architecture’s privacy which occupies a prominent place in architectural practice will be inspired. The methods of architectural formation have been linked to the fulfillment of different human requirements; finally the general architectural output can be classified in two main directions:
The first approach: “direct inspiration for the physical properties” in order to reproduce them and the use of its components and details of its forms in the construction of contemporary architectural and modern architectural models of different functions and have to do with the assets of those companies.
The second approach: “symbolic and moral inspiration” This approach is based on the systematic research of various methods of extrapolation, analysis and replacement of the local conditions and contemporary cultural data of the time. Hence, the development of concepts and the conclusion of mechanisms that fit consciously and selectively with the modern and local conditions to produce an architectural and urban style which does not inspire necessarily traditional elements as they are, but produce a traditional local architectural character that is compatible with concepts, traditions and preserves the cultural and civilization specificity of the local environment.
