I'm an architect. I align things. They need to be aligned.

Architecture is a balance between societies needs and the individuals desires

Also, architecture should reflect the greater good. Architecture should serve the public, protect the public, reflect the public. Architecture should reside in the public realm. Give form to the needs of the masses, respond to the collective desires of the people. Architecture should provide shelter

Architecture should be aspired to

If architecture can be explained in simple digestible bits, it's probably not architecture that's worth having. Architecture should be aggressively contradictory and elusive. Architecture should raise concern. Architecture should confound and raise questions. Architecture should intrigue.
