THE ANSWER TO THIS CAN BE PROVED BY THE HANGING GARDENS OF BABYLON. IT CONSISTED OF SEVERAL TIERS OF PLATFORM TERRACES BUILT UPON ARCHES AND EXTENDING TO A GREAT HEIGHT. ARCHITECUTE IS ALSO THE ART OF DESIGNING THE HUMAN BUILT ENVIRONMENT. IT CAN BE BUILDINGS, LANSCAPING, AND PEDESTRIAN STREET DESIGNS WHICH IS BOTH FUNCTIONABLE AND ASTHETICAL.
IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE ARCHITECTURE WITHOUT ARCHITECT. IT IS JUST THE MATTER OF HAVING GOOD OR BAD ARCHITECTURE. MEANWHILE, IN TODAY’S WORLD, ARCHITECTAL EFFORT SOMETIMES FACES PROBLEMS IN NOT IN TECHNICAL, BUT POLITICAL, ECONOMICAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL. MOST PEOPLE ENTER ARCHITECTURE WITH A VISION, A DESIRE TO BUILD, AND A PRE-DISCOVERED ENGINEERING ABILITY. UNFORTUNATELY, MANY ARCHITECTS DON’T GET TO EXERCISE ANY OF THESE SKILLS UNTIL MANY YEARS AFTER ENTERING THE PROFFESSION. MOST OF THEM BECOME BUSSINESS LIKE ARCHITECT. THEY SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME ON PHONE, MEETINGS, GEETING THE PROJECTS FROM CLIENT AND LOST THEIR TIME IN DESIGNING. DUE TO ALL THESE PROBLEMS THAT MAY FACE BY ARCHITECTS, SOME OF THE ARCHITECTS LOST THEIR EFFORT IN KEEPING ON THEIR VISION AND SOME EVEN BECOME DEVELOPER. AS TIME GOES ON, THE ARCHITECT WILL BECOME EXTINT! HOWEVER, ARCHITECTURE WILL STILL GOES ON WITHOUT ARCHITECT.
