This extract from Marcel Proust&rsquo;s &lsquo;A la recherch&eacute; du temps perdu&rsquo; (In Search of Lost Time), is referred to in Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre&rsquo;s seminal essay &lsquo;Why Critical Regionalism today?&rsquo; in an attempt to poetically capture the concept of the loss of a place and its identity. A loss synonymous with modern architecture, particularly in relation to contemporary global development , in this essay they argue for a &lsquo;Regionalist Architecture&rsquo; , an architecture of place making which preserves the fibres of &lsquo;collective social structures and the collective representations&rsquo;<em>(i)</em> that are etched within community and place ; things that cannot be recaptured if lost.</p> https://archinect.com/features/article/16646139/showcase-butaro-hospital-in-rwanda ShowCase: Butaro Hospital in Rwanda Archinect 2011-08-12T19:10:00-04:00 >2018-01-30T06:16:04-05:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/eh/ehb7j9jg8bxkxhgr.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><p> <strong>ShowCase</strong> is an on-going feature series on Archinect, presenting exciting new work from designers representing all creative fields and all geographies.</p> <p> <em>We are always accepting nominations for upcoming ShowCase features - if you would like to suggest a project, <a href="http://archinect.com/about/contact.php" target="_blank">please send us a message</a>. </em></p>
