Abstract

The research mainly discusses the correlation between the effect of technological evolution and the environmental aspects on architecture. The research depends on data analysis of theoretical study which carried out to explain the features of this effect. The environment could be classified to two major elements: the natural environment and built environment. Through ages, both natural and built environment are responsible for formulation of cultural and religion identity of any civilization which identifies it and achieves respect and appreciation from various civilization. On other hand, the development of societies requires paying attention and keeping up with technological evolution through ages. Technological evolution provides new tools and techniques for many fields in societies especially architecture as many features are affected by it such as: the evolution of design process, building materials, structural systems, and construction methods. As well, the architectural thinking is developed through the implementation of new digital design methodologies, new building materials configuration, and innovative construction methods. This development formulates a contemporary architecture which differs in its concept and applications from any previous architecture concepts appeared in all ages before information technology age. Recently, a huge confusion caused by approaches which discussed and presented by theorists to achieve the balance between the technological capabilities and environment determinants to submit an objective architecture which meet the need of activities applied in and do not care about the form without the content. The research offers a methodology to measure the extent to which contemporary architecture is connected with the place. The proposed methodology depends on the different dissertations that call for the establishment of a balance between originality and contemporary and is used to evaluate the architectural practices which are connected with the place. The practical study relies on applying the central axis of new Cairo as a case study to follow the Egyptian contemporary practices which are connected to the place.
