description Although postmodern architecture encompasses several trends, the design process philosophies adopted by these trends can be categorized within two mainstreams: Creativity -based architect design, and participation-based community design. The research underscores the problem of inefficiency of both approaches concerning creating a sense of belonging, attachment and self-continuity in societies with intercultural patterns. The research objective is to formulate and to propose a design approach to deal effectively with intercultural communities. The aim has been achieved through the use of a descriptive analysis methodology containing three themes: First, studying the correlation between attachment, self-continuity and vernacular architecture. Second, signifying participatory design in contemporary architectural theories, and testing its validity for applying in intercultural societies as far as some indicators extracted from the research literature review are concerned. Third, developing a proposed methodology to suit big cities and intercultural societies. The research concluded with some relevant results such as: - Contaminating with human spiritual and physical needs, place and time is an indicator of the sense of credibility in the built environment and, at the same time, attachment and sense of belonging. - Community participation provided the construction process with the vision of design and thus was one of the most important pillars of the credibility of the construction product. - The mechanisms of community participation and continuity with the collective subconscious of users can be developed to suit contemporary life and multicultural communities.
