Focus on Builders and Building
Growth and prosperity lead to extensive construction. While star architects offer their aesthetics and understanding of reality, the construction industry adjusts to economic cycles. However, industry, aesthetics, and understanding of reality are not sufficient. There are many tasks to be addressed between commerce and high-quality architecture.
Architectural perspective is also a societal perspective. There has been a shift in the last two decades. Architecture has evolved from being concerned with what is technically possible, aesthetically new, and creating tourist attractions and landmarks, to becoming a discipline focused on social and environmental sustainability, centered around placing humans at the core.
Several needs must be met, and various strategies are employed to meet demand. Consequently, numerous stakeholders are involved. Some build to improve the world. Some build because they can't resist. Some build out of necessity. The world changes through architecture and will always look different.
