Abstract
Accumulization, in contemporary Architecture, gained significance during the last decadeof 20th century. It represents an attempt in changing the receiver imagination and to reinforcehis role in reading and interpreting an architectural text which contains multiple layers ofrepeat; condensation and differences to achieve cultural continuity'Accumulization has been used to mean intertextuality to link traditions in Post_ ModernArchitecture and what follows, after modernism had failed to utilize repetition, whichrepresent an archetype of accumulation.This paper deals, primarily, in Post- Modern and De- construction architecture, toexplore how these two movement had reacted to accumulation; though definingaccumulization, in order to establish framework, a set ofconclusions is achieved. It was foundthat accumulization in architecture was vaguely defined, and theoretical references wetestrongly linked to literature. This linkage is heavily used to arrive at constituents ofaccumulation. Finally, three prime constituents were identified, mainly: objectives, levels andtypes which organize the use of the term.
