Through reading the texts requested it has become apparent that architecture is not just one skill. It can not be put in a box or easily explained. Whilst reading Jane Jacobs extract you realise that the street as a whole make the architecture. John Berger shows you that architecture is in the eye of the beholder and Ruskin teaches you to not judge a building without truly understanding it. The idea that as people we all have different ideas and beliefs as to what architecture is the key

The role of an architect according to le Corbusier is to churn out buildings that their clients need, he suggests there is no emotion in this maufactured process, unlike ruskin who says the the true architect pours out his heart in his work.

The architect is an artist with a strong problem solving skills. Instead of only thinking of the design of the building, an architect needs to think about the function of the building, the building users, how the building responds to its surrounds... So Vitruvius was right when he said that an architect should master many subjects

Architetcture is one of the ways human beings have to describe the world. Since it involves creativity, it always shows an idea, a concept that is translated into a specific rapport with space. Shaping a soac is always shaping an idea a single man or a human comunity have about space, what surrounds us.the world is what we see how we see it

The role of an architect is exclusive, it took many years for it to become established as a profession.

An architect should be an all rounder. He should have geometric knowledge as well as artistic knowledge and skill Vitruvius.
He must be able to express his design thro sketches models and words.
His should bring a different perspective on the problem and be able to express their ideas.

In my view, what really distinguishes the architect from any other profession is the way they need to be aware of a myriad of different factors that can influence quite substantially their work. Social issues or politics might not seem connected to architecture in any way, but they do shape the way it evolves in a certain part of the world at a certain time of the year. An engineer can perhaps afford to ignore what is happening politically in the area he's building in (structural principles do not vary) but not an architect. Design choices can mean a lot and can possibly conceal political and social messages (history is full of such examples)

I learned that architects employ intellectual power like knowledge, skills, technology and creativity in creating visual and spatial art in the form of buildings and place-making. Some architects, however, chose to be educators, critiques and philosophers who tried to understand how architecture interplays with humanity and the other fields of sciences.

For me the role of an architect is to consider the world around them. What I mean by this is they should consider the environment, be it built or in nature, that surrounds them and understand how their architecture will effect this environment. An architect, when conveying their ideas, have to know and be able to explain how it can improve or change the place that it precludes within.

Architecture derives from need and wants of people. It is the architects responsibility to develop works that solve specific problems in that context. The work produced will affect its users life quality in many ways and in this regard, it is a profession that holds big responsibilities

The social responsibility of architectslies in part in believing that architecture can create better places, that architecture can affect society, and that it can even have a role in making a place civilized by making a community more livable.

Architects are designers of everything using the knowledge gained from beyond the world of design but also in other fields and disciplines (i.e history etc...). They should not design for the sake of doing so but should design for a genuine purpose. Architecture is a tool for architects to bring communities

An architect is a person who not only needs to have knowledge and skill in many different disciplines but also has to understand people, their rituals and way of living in order to design a piece of architecture that fits different people'slifestyles and expectations

Professions in the artistic industries create works that lack the thought of actually living or working in the environment, architects have to think critically about their own ideas to ensure that the created space has both bueaty and function. I think in many ways, architecture is what the architect makes of him/herself.

Jane Jacobs spoke in depth about the use of sidewalks by all kinds of strangers describing the sidewalks as a “ballet” as people passing one another danced passed each other as they went about their daily lives and back into their homes/businesses. What this taught me about the role of the architect is that s/he has to be mindful of the possible use of architected space. As many inhabitants will have their own way they may use any space, you have the ability to guide the use of the space through spatial design.
