<p>Architects are needed by Society. For they are the ones who relate to all and sympathize with most. Architects have to say: yes we do need to make this room functional and people need to be able to sit down, but they also have to understand that it is not the fact that there is a chair in the room which ultimately gives the room its power. They have to know the history of a place, the culture of people, the nature of physics and how a structure must stand; and most importantly, they must know how to take an area and turn it into a space. At one point in time, structural engineering and architecture were basically the same field- and now they are split. Neither one can really exist without the other- if there were no structural engineers, architects would have to fill that role, and buildings would have to question themselves for a second and not be built with huge cantilevers. But if there were no architects, structural engineers would have to stop for a second and say wait- do I really want people to feel crowded in my building- do I really want them to never know how truly wonderful a space can be? Architecture is innately in us and I do not think we can let it dissipate.</p>
