Message: Architecture is a Mission. An Architect's Mission is to make people's life more comfortable and enjoyable. This can be achieved through Knowledge, Science, Art, Culture and Technology which needs to be studied, researched and combined to have a good balance in our life and built environment. I believe that Architecture served all Humanity in the form of Great monuments like The Pyramids, Acropolis, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Al Hamra Palace, Pisa Tower, Taj Mahal, Eifel Tower and similar other great achievements which were accomplished using an Aesthetic Vocabulary Language that people of all time could understand which made the Architectural Vision a Reality. Continuing Education is a way of making sure of continuous development for Architects, Engineers, the society and its environment. Today Architects and Engineers have to consider Sustainability and the Economic factor in their Design and Construction of a project, so that a project could be built according to the budget and time frome meeting best professional practice standards.
