The problem is that too many architects align their thinking more with artistic / design principles and either de-emphasize or ignore completely the principles of engineering, economics, politics, and social behavior. And it's really self-defeating, because a lot of the architect's renderings I've seen of projects that are built have been less appealing than the real thing. I frankly don't understand why, as a profession, architects want to segregate their imaginations into this pretentious bubble where the beauty of function and solid reality isn't allowed to influence them.
