Redefining the Role of an Architect in the Contemporary Context
Architecture should be understood as a logical, rational and appropriate response in a particular context. Any architectural output has to be perceived as being the product of a particular place, at a particular time and for a particular reason. The advent of cutting edge research and the resultant emerging technologies have affected and dictated the current architectural outputs. Today architects design irrespective of climate and geography. All the gaps are filled in by technology which comes with a huge cost to the environment. Architects have a key role to play in achieving the fine balance between human need and sustainability.
