KENNETH FRAMPTON, CRITICAL REGIONALISM, Frampton in his essay argues that it is critical to adopt universal values of modernism, taking into account the geographical context of the building. Frampton does not want to refer directly to "folklore", but to the climate, light, topography, and "local tectonic form", which should be understood as historical and geographical conditions of the construction industry.
5
MODERNISM vs. CRITICAL REGIONALISM Frampton says that modernism is a dual-layer phenomenon: 1. A philosophy of progress (including social and technological issues, as industrialization and standardization) 2. A formal manner. If it is applied mechanically it results in uniformity.
6
Kenneth Frampton The central principle of critical regionalism is “surely a commitment to place rather than space.” Scenographic vs. tectonic architecture

Alvaro Siza, House, Silver Coast, Portugal "All the dwellings on the 17 plots are placed so as to ensure that the lounge faces the lagoon in order to take advantage of the beautiful views that the location offers. The dwellings comprise two levels so as to keep the public and private areas separate."

Mario Botta, House, Riva San Vitale, Botta’s houses often appear as markets in the landscape, either as points or a boundaries.”

Mario Botta, House at Ligornetto, 1975 “At Ligornetto, the pretext, the germinal idea, was imposed by the fact that the area is an outlying zone, which is the limit of the urban development that is possible in the area. In fact, the house itself indicates a sort of limit, a wall, beyond which lies the open countryside. This wall that has become a house is cut down the center, where there is a special, privileged relationship with the landscape which, in this case too, is a hill; it’s the only instance where the overriding theme of closure opens towards the outside, the overriding theme of the house as an expression of protection, which is provided by great lateral walls.”
