Abstract

As a result of what the world witnessed in the emergence of technological developments and their irrational use and the resulting environmental crises that affected life, architects must propose architecture capable of responding to environmental influences in local architecture. Thus, the research goal is to identify the multiple levels of environmental response to architecture based on the correlation with changes in concepts, materials used, and apparent forms. There is a gap in knowledge regarding the correlation with changes in concepts, materials used, and apparent forms in achieving multiple levels of environmental response. A comprehensive theoretical framework was built to achieve the research goal, and the comparative and deductive approach was adopted. Then, the theoretical framework was transferred to three samples selected for the research design to present the final results and the most important conclusion: the relationship between societal changes. It achieves acceptable forms in the external reality and multiple levels of the environmental response of the architectural product.
