But at a day-to-day level, architects must perform this role while being pulled in a range of directions by varied, and often conflicting, practical demands - clients who modify initial concepts, concerns regarding sustainability, even garden-variety tight deadlines. This is where the architect comes in.Īt its heart, architecture is focused on the service of others through the design of the built environment. Evoking that same beauty in urban spaces, however, requires a little skill. This is one of the great joys of the world we live in.
Nature, in its rawest form - untouched by human hands - is unerringly beautiful.
