Architecture is a vital penetration of a multi-layered, mysterious, evolved and structured reality. Again and again it demands recognition of the genius loci out of which it grows. Architecture is no longer a two dimensional impression but is becoming an experience of corporeal and spatial reality, achieved by walking around and entering into. The subject object relationship has been done away with . Architecture is the enveloping and sheltering of the individual and hence a fulfillment and deepening. Reinhard Gieselman and Oswald Mathias Ungers, {Greene, 197 6) The cultural identity of the context does not necessarily only refer to the traditions and ethnicity of a specific group of people within the urban community. In an ethnically diverse and intertwined community, usually prevalent within an urban context, the cultural identity cannot only be determined by the customs or the racial classification of individuals. Contemporary urban communities are in a constant state of flux, due to the fluid inter-regional movement of people or groups. This causes a perpetual exchange of language, tradition, culture, experience and knowledge. Due to this diversity, cultural cross pollination establishes a new hybrid identity. The effect of the surrounding environment and relationships between people now play a much more important role in influencing the uniqueness of individuals. Thus to respond to the characteristics of individuals within the dynamic, shifting urban environment, architecture would be exceedingly more successful by questioning the core of what determines identity: A complex amalgamation of all the attributes- behavioural, temperamental, emotional and mental, the influence of the external environment and the genetic composition. Instead of trying to define or express a specific regional identity, the human cloning clinic questions the essence of identity.
