We see architecture as a means of communication between different parts of society because spaces enable people to interact. Although the dominance of virtual space is undeniable, the real space still plays a crucial role and determines our well-being to a high degree. The connecting role of architecture makes the architect a person in-between. He/she should be the mediator who enables sometimes opposing parties to come together and develop strategies for their new living environments. The architect as the one in the middle has to be able to understand complex processes and needs of future society. In order to create sustainable and livable spaces he/she has to be aware of the context, step gently and be ready to listen, observe, think, rehink, fail, act and explore. Architecture becomes thus a multidisciplinary tool in the hands of a conscious professional.
