The above words belong to American artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jdwelch.net\/writing\/kruger.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barbara Kruger<\/a>, who put forward three reasons that will likely resonate with anyone with a connection to the built environment.

Certain architects display a special affinity for a singular material that makes them synonymous with the buildings they create. Louis Kahn\u2019s relationship with brick, Mies van der Rohe\u2019s reverence for steel, Tadao Ando\u2019s love affair with concrete \u2014 each couplet has brought with it moments of architectural theater that live long in the memory.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39512\" style=\"width: 1127px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39512\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-39512 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/1395910557131Ketil-Jacobsen-5.jpg?resize=1117%2C1117&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"love\" width=\"1117\" height=\"1117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1395910557131Ketil-Jacobsen-5.jpg?w=1117&amp;ssl=1 1117w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1395910557131Ketil-Jacobsen-5.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1395910557131Ketil-Jacobsen-5.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1395910557131Ketil-Jacobsen-5.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/1395910557131Ketil-Jacobsen-5.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-39512\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Tverrfjellhytta &#8211; Norwegian Wild Reindeer Pavilion by Sn\u00f8hetta, Hjerkinn, Norway \u2014 2017 A+Awards Jury Winner for Alejandro Villanueva Photography in the Architecture +Photography &amp; Video category<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This remains true today: Many firms have won A+Awards in recent years thanks to their intimate understanding of architecture\u2019s raw elements.

There is beauty, symmetry, chaos and confusion, and architecture has the power to bring it about or change it all at the same time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This immense impact \u2014 and the weighty responsibility that comes with it \u2014 means that architects must display a deft combination of courage and humility when designing buildings. It is not enough to be a creative exhibitionist; an architect\u2019s job hinges upon their ability to live up to their client\u2019s hopes and expectations, all the while appreciating the influence their structure may have on the lives of whole populations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s why, when an architect achieve the seemingly impossible \u2013 leaving all parties happy \u2014 we can&#8217;t help but feel thankful for it. For a perfect example, look no further than <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/gehry-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frank Gehry<\/a>\u2019s audacious Guggenheim Bilbao, a built manifestation of architecture\u2019s potential to bring people together, united by their love for a building and its effects on their city. \u201cI love the relationship with the clients,&#8221; Gehry <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2015\/09\/10\/438944405\/frank-gehrys-lifelong-challenge-to-create-buildings-that-move\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">told NPR<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 2015. &#8220;I love going to Bilbao and people come out and hug me.

Humanitarian architecture pioneer Cameron Sinclair <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cameronsinclair.com\/i-love-architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote about<\/a> what first made him fall in love with the profession: \u201cI became enamored with the process and the huge hurdles it took to turn a dream to reality.\u201d These huge hurdles were navigated by the dozens of architects who designed and delivered A+Award-winning projects of the past five years. This year, hundreds more will follow in their footsteps.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best architecture may be crafted from concrete, glass, wood and stone, but when it all comes together, it amounts to so much more: It is a social condenser, an atmospheric cauldron, a visual delight. It is a spirit lifter, an educator, a calming influence, a home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is why we&#8217;re thankful for great architecture \u2014 and why this year\u2019s A+Awards will undoubtedly capture the world\u2019s imagination once again.<\/span><\/p>\n<em>Architizer is thrilled to announce the <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inside-architizer\/updates\/2022-aawards-winners-announcement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">winners of the 10th Annual A+Awards<\/a>.
