Abstract
As a result of globalization, architectural design has also integrated into the trend of becoming unified. However, regional architecture has become something that opposes unification, allowing each region to maintain its unique characteristics while also protecting the environment. This research focuses on the cultural meaning of natural materials utilization in regional architectural design, allocating the specifics for how the local materials influence both ecological and cultural importance. Positive results arrived at by case studies of architects who used local materials in architecture confirm the role of local architecture as a mediator between cultural heritage and sustainable development. Utilizing literature analysis as a mode of study to critically examine the historical background, technological advancement, and socio-economic condition helps the stimulation of regional architecture. The research elaborates on the importance of using regional materials as a way to develop architectural practices that reflect cultural identity as well as to ensure the ecology of the area. Finally, the paper gives a brief discussion on the future development direction and trends in the regional cultural aspects of architecture design.
