“…As we have seen, this process was accompanied by a growing awareness of regional identity. 60 Both the disruptive consequences of the industrialization of the Eindhoven region and the advent of the mining industry in Limburg prompted the construction of regional identities that were used to enhance cohesion and define religious identity among the Catholic inhabitants of Brabant and Limburg. 61 Regional Catholic solidarity was strengthened in opposition to the dominant Calvinists from Holland -the political and economic core of the Netherlands.…”

ABSTRACT:The discourse on twentieth-century urban planning has hidden from view the way religion (re)shaped the urban landscape. By analysing the interaction between urban development and Catholic politics in the southern Dutch provincial cities of Eindhoven and Roermond, this article argues that religious thinking, practice and institutions had considerable influence on urban planning. Religious views and ideas played an important role in the spatial transformation of these towns. The secular instruments of urban planning were used during the ‘pillarization’ period to emphasize the sensus catholicus of town and region, and to achieve the desired Catholic social and moral order.

“…G. Hofstede points out that in the historical process, nations were shaped as forms of social organisation, therefore the concept of culture is literally more related to the nation than the state [10]. This does not change the fact that many states have formed a coherent whole, despite the sometimes great diversity of the groups [45][46][47][48] or non-assimilated national minorities. In countries with a particular historical heritage, there are many factors that favour further integration.…”

Management science focuses on organisational culture. This reflection also applies to the broadly understood cultural context, as organisations operate in specific places and at specific times. As entrepreneurs enter foreign markets, there is a need to deepen their knowledge of cultural aspects, which results in the possibility to generate practical guidelines for shaping organisational culture in a different cultural environment. The article assumes that out of four elements conditioning organisational culture-type of environment, type of organisation, features of organisation and features of participants-two of them, type of environment and features of its participants, are the basic ways to organisational culture, by means of which the organisational culture is permeated by artefacts, values and basic assumptions, characteristic of national cultures. This permeation is exemplified by organisations from the same industry, having the same top management but functioning in different cultural environments. The study was conducted with the use of the multiple, exploratory and explanatory case study method. It consisted of three stages: The first stage included literature analyses (analyses of secondary data and legacy data), which aimed to determine the features of two cultures-Polish and Ukrainian. At the second stage, the authors conducted pilot studies among the representatives of the Polish and Ukrainian national culture. At the third stage, the organisational cultures of companies operating in the environment of the Polish and Ukrainian culture were surveyed. The research sample included 590 people. The authors based their studies on the Milton Rokeach Values Scale and an author's tool, in which Hofstede's concept of cultural dimensions. The statistical analysis involved the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test.

On the maps of Europe and the world there exist places insufficiently described in terms of culture, although entrepreneurs establish branches of their companies there [3][4][5][6][7]. Such a place is Ukraine. Theoretical analyses and research relating to the national culture of this country are relatively poor. At the same time, they seem to be important due to the close geographical location of Ukraine in relation to Poland, which is conducive to conducting business activity by native companies. Nevertheless, this activity entails specific problems, as managing companies that operate in culturally different conditions not only require orientation on the language or customs of other communities, but also more subtle skills, based on tolerance, openness and acceptance [8,9].

Hofstede's position, according to whom intercultural communication can be learned and that the basis of such a learning process is primarily the realisation that each person is "mentally programmed...

“…The dissemination of these universal assumption and also the great need for post-World War II reconstruction fertilized the seed of International Style crawling out of any ornaments and identity of place [10]. As such, the blank façades of the buildings lost any notion of cultural memory and regional identity (Figure 4).…”

Rethinking of Critical Regionalism in High-Rise Buildings

Abstract:The character of height and density of newly high-rise cities, along with the force of globalization, have jeopardized the character of dwellings once entailing a regional flavor. The critical regionalism which serves as a resistant medium against placelessness and lack of identity in the International Style has focused more on mid-rise or low-rise solutions rather than providing direct high-rise resolutions. Additionally, high-rise endeavors are not compatible with critical regionalism theories. This has happened partly due to critical regionalism theories multi-facet character inherent in its dialectic structure. Thus, to remedy the inadvertency of texts in the discourse of architectural regionalism, the present study seeks rethinking of critical regionalism by focusing on the pathology of high-rise buildings in the issues pertaining to place and identity. Finally, the architectonic articulation to place-making and identity-giving is discussed.
