One of the things that always call our attention when we travel or go for a walk in our city is the form of any construction that we find in our road. Maybe we think they are just wonderful and so beautiful, and that that is the reason of why they are there, but the buildings are more than that, they are not only a pretty and ornamental elements, they have a specific and important function, they should try to resolve some problems in the place where they are located. ======

Nowadays we can see how many architects trying to show new tendencies original creations makes of the architecture something evident. Thanks to the technology and the creativity they don’t have limits and create structures that are really amazing but defy the own nature, forgetting if they are related to the neighbor buildings and if they respond to the necessities of the city: It is true that now we can build anything that we want and that is the reason of why sometimes is difficult for us to stop our minds and wishes, to start thinking about how the implantation of our project can affect the dynamic and the sight of the city. Maybe we don’t see that our wonderful, novel and original creation is very selfish and is not according and harmonious as we thought. ======

Is time to understand that there is no one structure that can be itself sufficient, they need to be related with the context and try to respond to the people necessities. We, architects and urban planners need to work together to answer to the needs of the clients and the city. Is very important that we share our knowledge, use it to make the best study on the area, look for some ideas for change and create a complete master piece.

The work of an architect never will be complete without an urban planner help, they need to be just like twins at the time to work. We know that an architect is a person that plan and design buildings, buildings that need to have big spaces to stay, spaces related to the exterior, and an exterior that respond to the urban design. An architect knows that any structure influence in the dynamic of the place, but only urban planners can say which is the best way to organize the city. An urban planner study the cities, the dynamic, and understand the necessities of the society, the culture, the different points of view and the environment, to organize in the best way the future projects to make easier the access to any part of the context and guarantee an optimum development of it with safe an be functional places that benefit all the community. ======

As you can see, the work of one complements the work of other. It’s time to left behind the individualism and start working together; the architecture needs to change the point of view, it is not to impress the people, it is to improve the city, it is offer good spaces to stay, it is relate the exterior with the interior, it is generate sensations and makes a place be functional, not a lonely and odd element. ======
