The culturalist ideological model

Culturalism is one of the four ideological models aiming to solve the complex issue of affordable housing. Culturalism was strongly related to English romantism and was completely opposed to the progressist ideological model, its supporters being avid non-industrialists. They believed in the human warmth and the spiritual needs of the individual, these needs being above the material needs one has. They rejected the rigid geometry and believe that all built forms must be inspired from nature. The ones representing this movement were the founders of the Arts & Crafts movement, and they believed in the renaissance of the craftsmenship. The disadvantages of this point of view was the possibility of loss of the human cohesion.
