Frampton’s engaged theory of the discipline is more important than ever, architecture needs a renewed frame of values in which the ground’s topographic and political nature is fully recognised. Arhitektura je znanstvena, tehnična in umetniška disciplina, ki se posveča ustvarjanju okolja, ki je primerno za človeško prebivanje in delovanje ter razmišljanju o vprašanjih, ki so s tem povezana. Since the early 1960s Frampton’s interest had gone beyond the borders of the old continent. So while the work of Monadnock is indebted to Frampton’s Critical Regionalism, it also criticises what Job Floris and Sandor Naus consider as some of the historian’s omissions.

Their critical regionalist character lies not so much in the built forms, nor in the embeddedness of their projects, but in a methodology enriched by these three branches. [citation needed], Although supportive of Critical Regionalism attempt to adapt design to local climate, site conditions, and locally-available materials, considering it an improvement in relation to the International Style of Modernism, architecture theorist Nikos Salingaros criticizes its anti-regional and anti-traditional tendencies derived from Critical Theory.

This is not without recalling the plea of the Anglo-American critic and historian Kenneth Frampton who published ‘Towards a Critical Regionalism: Six Points for an Architecture of Resistance’ in Perspecta in 1983, a text that defended an alternative to the threat of universalisation he witnessed at that time. Frampton’s call to counter universalisation with specific architecture took form in his essay, which elaborates on several more philosophical points, before making a case for the topographic, climatological conditions of a site, the tectonics of architectural construction, and the tactile sensibility of architecture. One of the best examples of Purism, this painting, as Kenneth Frampton has argued, "encapsulates more succinctly the [movement's] iconic ethos" by showing an ideological celebration of industrial civilization and exhibiting the "ready-made" lexicon of everyday life as an aesthetic discourse.

Frampton’s text was first and foremost a call for an architecture of arrière-garde, an architecture not driven by the quest for newness and invention, but by a certain lateness, an alternative to the well-known role of the avant-garde architect as the 20th century had defined and cherished.
