| Abstract Accumulization, in contemporary Architecture, gained significance during the last decade of 20th century. It represents an attempt in changing the receiver imagination and to reinforce his role in reading and interpreting an architectural text which contains multiple layers of repeat; condensation and differences to achieve cultural continuity' Accumulization has been used to mean intertextuality to link traditions in Post_ Modern Architecture and what follows, after modernism had failed to utilize repetition, which represent an archetype of accumulation. This paper deals, primarily, in Post- Modern and De- construction architecture, to explore how these two movement had reacted to accumulation; though defining accumulization, in order to establish framework, a set ofconclusions is achieved. It was found that accumulization in architecture was vaguely defined, and theoretical references wete strongly linked to literature. This linkage is heavily used to arrive at constituents of accumulation. Finally, three prime constituents were identified, mainly: objectives, levels and types which organize the use of the term. | ||
