The New Local Gottret Merkel, José Jorge
Abstract
The new local is an examination of the role of architecture in a globalized world. In the ever-increasing complexity of societies, the architect must once again assume its social responsibility to regain its relevance. To do so requires a reexamination of the processes that shape the practice of architecture. Looking at the response to globalization and shifting towards what possibilities it brings, the architect re-establishes its cultural significance. Digging deeper into tradition and the innovation that comes from the spontaneous order of craft, the architect develops its knowledge of the how further and becomes a catalyst for change. Finally, jumping into the politics of participation with generosity and curiosity, the architect is transformed into an activist on behalf of the user.

The new local is an examination of the
role of architecture in a globalized world.
In the ever-increasing complexity of
societies, the architect must once again
assume its social responsibility to regain
its relevance. To do so requires a reexamination
of the processes that shape
the practice of architecture.
Looking at the response to globalization
and shifting towards what possibilities
it brings, the architect re-establishes its
cultural significance. Digging deeper into
tradition and the innovation that comes
from the spontaneous order of craft, the
architect develops its knowledge of the
how further and becomes a catalyst for
change. Finally, jumping into the politics
of participation with generosity and
curiosity, the architect is transformed into
an activist on behalf of the user.
