Architecture is not something rare that only the initiated can understand. It is just another name for buildings. Like other artefacts, buildings may be considered merely utilitarian or they may be enhanced by various means, such as decorating them to make them more visually attractive, or using them as images to evoke other sensations. In either case, they embody the values of the people who produce them. Individuals generally accumulate possessions that suit their own temperaments. But most buildings (other than dwellings) are for communal activities. Collectively, they form towns for public use. In these circumstances, it is reasonable that buildings should reflect the values of at least the majority of the people who inhabit them. If they do not, there is a conflict between the public outlook and its constructed environment. Where buildings are in harmony with their society, they support and enrich its everyday life. Unfortunately, the designs that architects produce primarily reflect their own preoccupations rather than the values of the communities they serve.
