All of us have an idea of our dream home, which is full of wonder and it is something we believe we can be. But architecture, even now has been quite resistant to change in context to major number of structures that we see today. We become locked up in the same mundane walls if we see the same type of architecture around, which has the  same lights and materials. But, there is always iconic architecture which inspires people to think out of the box. 

Architects are now interested in creating what has never been built or imagined before. It is now not restricted by materials like concrete and steel. Great buildings that we talk about, like pyramids of Giza, cathedrals, pagodas or temples have just been someone’s wild idea full of wonder at once but realised by intelligence of design and a desire to do something creative!

With a believe in future, architects are now driven by optimism to try something new and abstract. At places like National assembly building, Bangladesh or The Lovre, Paris, vigour and energy of architecture has directed entire political and social structure.

These new spaces speak volumes of emotions and are not mute but expressive! It may disturb us, and why not? Buildings should be engaging and emotive, and also should go beyond normal to break shackles of monotony,  to illicit tension and unexpected wonder! Such buildings communicate to it uers and thus are retained in one’s memory.  As an architect it’s a responsibility to create spaces that are lively, vibrant and diverse which transforms and raise most simple activities to a completely different expectation.
