This article discusses the emergence of architecture think tanks, which contrast with traditional architectural practices focused on client delivery. These new entities encourage research, experimentation, and reflection, providing space for architects to question broader societal and environmental issues. The need for such think tanks is amplified by today's complex challenges, prompting a shift from a reactive model to a proactive and reflective approach. As the architecture profession faces global crises, integrating research into practice becomes essential for relevance and impact.
Architecture think tanks challenge the boundaries between theory and practice, blurring roles, mixing methods, and redefining what it means to be an architect today.
The complexity of today's challenges has exposed the limitations of the traditional commission-based system, highlighting the need for architecture to evolve into a proactive profession.
