Abstract

In globalized world, the geographical location of the buildings is loosing its impact on architecture, as places are loosing their identity. What instead begins to play an important role is an origin of the design concept behind architecture. It is largely determined by the creative individuality of a designer, which, in turn, is never a completely independent—self-induced feature. What should be pointed out here is the crucial role of architectural education. In the globalized architecture, academic tradition is behind the actions of the creator: design philosophy, understanding and interpreting the design process, sensitivity, ethics.
