To understand the role of architecture – whether direct or indirect – in the construction of a person’s identity, the revival of the importance of discovering one’s self-identity is studied, along with theories regarding the construction of identity. The three factors that cause people to form linkages between architecture and identity – place, habitus and memory – are studied in detail, and their effects are distilled into seven parameters, studied under reterritorialization patterns of migrants (how they find their place in their new environment). Deterritorialization – the destabilization of linkages with one’s home country – is read in detail, as well as how the act of migration destabilizes existing connections that one has with their native place.
