Architecture through history has been adopting as chief builder. somehow the changing in global industry today has make it a great victim and neglect its chief importance, and confusing mixture of roles and this creates irregular management. architects is dead, dying, do you agree?
What is it that we do or are supposed to do? /the hands of "Project Managers" who turn architects into (useless) drones. For how much more time will architect be able to hide behind the garb of the objectively righteous and intelligent./ -- originally from archnet discussion --
an architect as the magician, dream off. a uk-graduated architect saying himself acting like a prostitute to serve when situation he is needed to do whatever is told. what a shame. all have played "pretend," living like grownups, building houses and homes with the available materials, making the interior arrangements to suit our notions of comfort and all the rest of it. We had helped each other in building, but without the idea of monopolizing. Notably absent in our plays was the concept of profiteering and its token, money.
Often surfing architect-forum online during my college time (wished my findings may be of some interest here) till now i step inside, it's real. of whatever been told, "the good old days" when being an architect meant "knowing much more than the average person" are long gone more than 20 years ago, worldwide.
even education can't change this situation, it's a globalisation. architects have addressed to new meaning. I think with a sense of uncertainty as to what my place would be I should have start to perceive the threat of reality. of which i'm into. when I step out of an institution. perhaps some other field of knowledge have face the similar problems, too.
The thing I learn about the future is that perhaps architects need to band together with the engineers in order to work in today's marketplace.
Perhaps it's much better to see it in student perspective. In schooling, both the student and the teacher are far removed from the real world where they actually go to, to merely rest and recuperate. afterall, seeing it more or see it less, although losing my believe, not to forget architecture is perhaps just a guide.
