Abstract
During the past years, educational research courses in Europe generally and united Arab nations particularly, have been shifted from its human nature to be interested and supportive of digital technology. Regional Theory is the most important theory that emerged, calling for criticizing architectural digital ideas as "creative" processes, and seeking to restore architectural and technological identity. From this point, the research identified its problems as: The lack of a clear knowledge about the role of regional theory in the interactivity relationship between technology and space to achieve spatial identity, local and sustainable environment. The research aims to achieve an architecture that relies on critical technology that satisfies local identity, with local solutions stemming from moral role of architecture in shaping the environment. To achieve the goal of the research, a descriptive and analytical approach was adopted consisting of two axes: The first aim to Criticizing local space and build strategies of localizing globosity, through generative technology. The second axes include Evaluation and verification of generative technology's indicators in selected architectural models.
