Abstract
People's responses to architectural forms and blocks vary according to their backgrounds and according to their understanding of the theory on which the building design isbased, and the assimilation process often differs from the fact thatthe recipient is an ordinary person or an architect, so it is often affected by the reaction based on his performance and comfort in the case of the average person, while the architect is often ignored These feelings and the architectural work receives through a unified theory that respects standards abstract from feelings, this unified theory called by some theorists to restore the lost meanings of the intangible architecture that modernityconcealed its features and produced forms that are not connectedwithout meaning, and the current Egyptian architecture has become a continuation of the international style that concealed the features of identity In countries and their features erased theirtraditional building materials, hence the research raises animportant question about the extent to which the Egyptian architectural reality was affected by modernity and the extent to which contemporary architects resorted to the unifiedarchitectural theory that was established by the mathematicianand architectural theorist Nikos Salinger's, the research is based on the analytical approach to trace the influence of both theories On the Egyptian reality through a quantitative analysis tomeasure the language of architectural design and regionaladaptation, to reach the final output The study indicated that mostof the buildings follow the international style of modernity,which calls for a mechanical study to work with the unifiedarchitectural theory in Egypt.
