The design is not sustainable.. who's to blame?Architect.. fair enough..

Sustainable design leader (Link)

Another questions from article above, "Why Architects must lead on sustainable design", why?how?and show one example of a successful Architect!?

In my opinion?here is the thing. Why there is a profession called Architect?Vitruvius used to be an engineer in a war for an artillery weapon ballista, then later on he was known for the book called De Architectura. Why he became a building designer that later called Architect?because no more war. And to keep living, he needed a job based on what he capable of.

Now?is it true that Architect should be the pioneer of sustainable design?what about the design that already done with no sustainable thingy at all?should we blame the previous Architect?My answer is.. NO!!

Architect always and has to be pioneer in everything. Not just sustainable design. IN EVERYTHING. Especially IDEA. Push forward, challenge the limit, no need 2,000 until 10,000 words of paper if the paper cannot represent the idea. Some said a picture worth a thousand words. A design represent a million pictures, and the bonus is?the picture comes in 3D, thank you.

Back to sustainable. So, who is the one who supposed to be responsible for the sustainable design?It's the people. I know it sounds defensive. Because in the end the purpose of the design is for the people. Economist says, it is demand that creates supply.
