<p> This book brings together complex fields of knowledge and globally splintered discourses on the common complaint about the loss of identity which, to a substantial degree, is associated with the built environment in cities and specifically with their architecture. <i>Architecture and Identity</i> takes a global, multidisciplinary look on how identities in contemporary architecture are constructed. The book presents forty contributions from various disciplines aiming to destroy the myth of an inheritable or otherwise prefabricated identity.</p>
