EN The article presents the author’s view on multicultural context in architectural design as a key to spatial and social harmony. The review that was carried out suggests that multicultural context is an important element in the identity and in the history of a place and points out that multicultural context is an essential feature of sustainable development. The analysis led to selecting a range of elements of multicultural approach in architecture: cultural patterns, cross-cultural communication, glocalization, space branding, and multicultural canons. By placing the problem within current debates in multicultural context, we offer a new approach to amplifying architectural identity through developing intercultural capital that enables attaining creative architectural solutions. We conclude that the cross-cultural context is an important element of contemporary architecture.
