Y ARCHITECTS?

THE FIELD OF ARCHITECTURE IS GIVEN AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF LATITUDE AS AN ART FORM. FEW PROFESSIONS HAVE THE CAPACITY AND POTENTIAL TO EDUCATE, STIMULATE AND CAPTIVATE SOCIETY BY SHAPING THE ENVIRONMENT. THE WORLD CAN BE AS DULL OR AS EXCITING AS ARCHITECTS ARE WILLING TO MAKE IT. THE QUESTION REMAINS, THEN, WHY DO SO FEW ARCHITECTS TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO EXTEND THIS MEDIUM TO ITS FULLEST? OUR CHALLENGE IS TO USE THE ART, SCIENCE, AND POETRY OF ARCHITECTURE IN A CONTEMPORARY TECHNOLOGICAL WORLD TO ENGAGE AND INSPIRE. PEOPLE INTERACT WITH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT EVERY DAY. HOW PASSIVE OR ACTIVE THIS INTERACTION IS, IS DETERMINED TO A LARGE EXTENT BY ARCHITECTURE AND BY ARCHITECTS.
