Introduction -<br/>From the craftman to the technician, from manual to digital, architecture is facing arguably its greatest challenges yet to be worthy of its historical precedent. The intemperance and secularity of the developed world , the declining quality of urban life globally , and a universal disregard for proper stewardship of the natural resources of the planet will determine the future course that architecture and urban design will follow.-<br/><br/>POST - MILLENIUM IMPERATIVES -<br/>HOLISTIC DESIGN –<br/><br/>Directions in Architecture --<br/>" Architecture is the printing press of all ages , and gives a history of the state of society in which it was erected .
