The present study analyzes the post-globalization reconciliation in architectural ideologies in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE experienced an unprecedented boom in urban development starting from the latter half of last century mainly due to the unparalleled economic growth in their history. This brought in star architects around the world who contributed to designing large-scale buildings there. Considering the globalization in architecture, this trend produced some exceptional stand-out buildings boasting dazzling philosophical back stories. However, after the initial burst, there has been some noticeable evolution in the ideologies. The concept of globalization faced the pressure of localization. There have been a significant number of studies on these new buildings. However, they mostly talked either about the philosophies of the star architects or about the mesmerizing architectural and engineering details. Only a few research has been done on the reconciliation and evolution of the ideologies over time. This study attempted to draw attention to certain ideological evolution that has been evident by analyzing certain large-scale new buildings. The socio-semiotic theory has been used as the analytic method, by which hermeneutic interpretation was drawn after investigating the expressive and explicit architectural elements of the buildings. Categorical and purposive sampling methods have also been used to select the precedents. Data were collected through archival records, books, and various electronic resources. After rigorous investigation, this study found several 'localization' ideologies significantly reacting to the initial ideology of globalization. This study concludes that though this kind of reaction may not be an unheralded one; however, the grandness of those new buildings has given the ideologies a new dimension. It remains to be an interesting question where this ideological transformation will head to. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
