Do We Need Architects?

Do We Need Architects? Journey Beneath the Surface of Architecture is a journey of discovery that takes place over twenty-five years of my life from exploring my own motivations to become an architect learning about architecture and the changing environment of practicing architecture to experiencing the impact of architecture on the built environment. The story investigates the meaning perception and relevance of architecture in todays world. . Have you ever had a favorite building park or square? A place that affects your mood? All of us at some stage have experienced the impact of architecture and landscape on the way we perceive reality. Let me invite you on a journey that examines what architects do as well as the legacy of the architectural process that influences the environment visiting places and exploring architectural interventions by taking them out of the glossy images shown in the architecture books and industry journals and placing them in the context of their urban or natural setting. It is always as a found object always in the present examining the impact of humanity on the environment and the contribution architecture has made and is continuing to make to the everyday environment where we all live work and play.
