Prologue In 1923, “Vers une architecture” - known as Towards a New Architecture - by Le Corbusier had been published to announce a new age of post-industrial architecture and serves as a manifesto for architects in the 20th century and till date. After a century of the New Architecture and shifting to the cities' movement, the impact of the urban and modern life revealed a serious concerns on our health, mental wellbeing and outlook, demanding a new urban direction and techniques to tackle the increment of urban life populations which more than 55% today and expected to be 68% by 2050. The exhibit will spot on the indigenous urban fabric in the absence of post-industrial theories on the urban sociology patterns in terms of how it changes the community behavior and their relationship with their neighborhood and each others considering the sociology theory of “Gemeinschaft and Gesellschaft” model by “Ferdinand Tönnies”.
