Architect = archi-tectus = arkhi-tekton = chief builder

An Architect’s role has developed throughout History. Initially it was simply artisan with no paper on hand, only his vision…Imhotep, What a folly!
Today the architect’s role is very complex, a mix between technical knowledge, inspiration and management, reminding us of the Vitruvian Virtues: utilities, firmitas and venustas.

So, what is the recipe to be a good architect? The hands of Raffaello, Van Gogh even Picasso… The mind of Confucius … and the tenacity of the Roman and Egyptian Builder?
