Purposes

__**The purposes of Architecture:**__ I think that it is correct to think that architecture started from the need of feeling protected. From the ancient caveman, who evolved from staying in a cave, to building his own house with branches and stones, to today's businessman, who needs to feel the comfort and protection in his house, as much as he needs to feel it in his office. 

I'm so glad to know that here was a commitment from architects, urban planners and landscape artists to work together. We have to see cities as whole units, not as a bunch of buildings that are forced to be together in one place. There's a need for harmony, for fluid spaces, and also, for ways to get to those spaces. As an architecture student, I think that the role of urban planners help developing a city as a whole, making the connections with each building so strong, that there's no way to enjoy any city if there's one of those buildings missing, or even if one single building is added later.
