architecture depends. i do not like the title because it reminds me of geriatrics, but the meaning behind it is something that i hold on to dearly.

architecture depends...
on people
on good decisions
on teamwork
on communication
on globalization (?)
on doing things for the right reasons
on doing things for money
on doing things on a budget
on stereotypes
on breaking stereotypes
on you (teamwork and your understanding)
on me (on my responsibility to myself and you)
on everyone (everyone needs shelter)
on no one (everyone expects shelter)
on improving the world (loftier goals)
on just squeaking by (reality of comprimises)

In short architecture can be everything or nothing. it's really a decision left up to us. Architecture is mess. It is chaos. It is ordered. It is smooth. It is rough. We can be everything and nothing.

This is really just a lot of nothing (blowing smoke, much?). But it is good to let out some thoughts sometimes.
