The meaning of being an architect has evolved by the time. In the beginning the architect were equal as gods where the constructed temples and palaces. Last century the career of an architect was a hot topic because in their hands they had the control of the formation of big cities. But now the discipline of Architecture is being mixed up, before we called them carpenters, now they are called industrial designers; such thing as the technology had its purpose too to define such things.
As well architecture has different sub discipline, taking advantages of mechanical, scientific and artist this made up such new things that was not seen from before. In the text “Turtles do not successfully mate with giraffes” it shows a complex diagram of the virtues of Architecture, such as how the architecture has evolved by passing the years, making it more complex. One of the main reasons of its evolution was the presence of technology, this made break parameters in other ways. As well this was made as a giant and complex cube, being in a way difficult to understand but either way showing all the description needed.
Thanks to the technology we developed faster and much easier ways to build, using prefabricated materials such as blocks or even a whole wall or even building from the ground up from a 3D printer robot. All this has been developed thanks for the technology and the time for making research for better ways of building, making it know much more possibilities of construction. The article finished mentioning that the cloud diagram has not finished for now, and I totally agree, this time is where we begin using the new technology for our sake and making new boundaries for a contemporary architecture.
