The context of an architectural intervention can be read and interpreted in many ways. It can range from the economic to the social and the political to the natural. The recognition of a context as part of a challenge and an addition to an architectural brief will allow for interventions that develop a response to that. The architect will take on a certain responsibility as to the context he or she has chosen. Architecture, in terms of formal and spatial excellence would still be at the core. Its value system would be enriched with a responsive aspect to the space and time it is situated in. The openness and flexibility toward the context will allow for a framework that is plausible and applicable to a variety of spatial approaches. Signature architecture and coherent authorship become less desirable. Each new context defines the scope, scale and structure of each new project.
