Abstract
This paper explores the impact of evolving architectural typologies on the community's connection to their surroundings. Utilizing various research methods, we analyzed the transition from traditional typologies to modern ones and how new construction materials influenced the people's shared memories and ties to their locale. Our findings suggest that these novel materials didn't echo the historical sentiments and living patterns of the community. Further, the swift changes and a lack of genuineness in the surroundings led to feelings of detachment. This study calls for design choices that honor historical essence, considering the deep link between the historical, architectural, social, and environmental.
