Summary

This quote suggests that the architectural designs and structures in a country reflect its advancement in both technological and social aspects. However, it argues that to add a human touch and address the absence of empathy in architecture, architects must actively engage in political movements and fights for social change. By participating in the political struggle, architects can contribute to shaping a built environment that not only showcases progress but also considers the needs and aspirations of the people it serves.
