It is understandable that the utility of buildings is more important than beauty. However, I disagree that
architects should not make efforts about making artistic buildings. I believe that today's architects have the
expertise and the resources to design buildings, which are both - beautiful and useful.
A good building should satisfy the three principles of durability, utility and beauty. lt should stand up
robustly and remain in good condition. lt should be useful and function well for the people using it' lt
should delight people and raise their spirits. A good architect should strive to fulfil each of these three
attributes as much as Possible.
To begin with, the burgeoning population and the scarcity of land today have raised the debate whether
the buildings of today should only be useful and not beautiful. However, the skyscrapers of today are the
answers to both these problems. They accommodate a lot of people in the least amount of space and these
skyscrapers are architectural marvels in terms of beauty'
Secondly, the natural resources are limited and it is the need of the hour to make energy efficient
buildings. For example, using solar panels and other energy saving measures are the need of the day.
Today's architects have been successful in designing aesthetically appealing solar panels, which need less
space. The climate changes that are taking place because of global warming, need buildings that need less
air conditioning and yet remain cool.
To summarise, it is imperative for architects to understand function, and aesthetics both. lt is a big
responsibility to have buildings, which are both useful and beautiful and architects of today have the
ca pability, to do so.
