Giving meaning to our lives (ARCHITECTURE)


 Actually what is architect? and what is their job? This two question was in me since childhood days and at the same time  my aim is to become one of the innovative architecture in my live in this world. We simply thinks that architecture is something to do with designing and planning as they wish for themselves and for others mainly to generate money. That’s what actually the normal people thinks about the architecture and engineers.
In general most of the people think in wrong way.. they consider only  doctor  is the one who serve other people and for others benefits but not architectures and on the other hand  architecture and engineer they don’t consider them as the one who serve for the others rather they thinks that they only deals with money. Something like give and take….
In fact  architecture and the engineers are the one not only serve for the people but meant for whole world. If there isn’t any in such field then the world won’t be beautiful as today….rather we will overcome lots of problem which will result to dead.  From my own definition architecture are the inspired and innovative fortitude  which from age to age, from generation to generation, persevere, creates and proceeds according to the nature of man and his circumstance as they change.
 Furthermore  architect are trained in many areas, from historic preservation to structural engineering. Like doctors and lawyers, architects have completed university programs and lengthy internships. In most parts of the world, architects must pass a series of rigorous exams in order be licensed.
What makes great architects? Only if one who changes history with his craft, and to a degree, that is true of architecture.  I would say the great architect is the architect who changes the course of people's lives who use their buildings and in related to  this  best buildings are those that really deeply affect the lives of those people who use them. Some of the people thinks that  good architect  are those architect who can think and draw but to me good architect are those who can produce functional design solutions that are workable within the designed environment.
Moreover I think that to be a great architect someone need to be optimistic in everything he/she is does. Architects are great when they master the details without losing sight of the big picture, and master the general idea without overlooking the details. What I usually thinks is that Architects should have the awareness that they are the creators. One important  thing is that Architects are responsible for the feelings, emotions, and lives of those who are going to live in the building. Their work and thinking should reach the level that their building transmits peace and cheerfulness to the inhabitants.
Lastly but not the least I would say that architect should be focused,creative,flexible,able to satisfy ninety percent in his project and leave room for future innovations. In short architects are master with their hearts so that they can wear others heart on others sleeve.
