"Psychological-constructive and psychological-scientific matters involved in the work of design in our era pertain not to the important technical-functional or artistic details of the whole, but rather the to a complex of problems...
Today, the dynamics and nature of organs is more complicated than ever before. Nevertheless, the way we perceive the complex also corresponds to a primordial gestalt, and as such any aspiring to ”simplicity” as the explicit expression of form should never be subjected to fundamental design constraints – as this would fly in the face of truth. "
Hans Scharoun, 1964

Architects prepare and follow the building process; their tasks include building and construction strategies to address problems associated with design, technical, ecological and social planning issues. In so doing, they actively shape building culture.
