Architecture today is not just a discipline of combined design and engineering, rather, it has become an expression of beauty, art and modernisation as different artists showcase their borderless ideas transgressing into the future. Those who look to the future understand architecture as a dynamic system of relationships. These relationships blur the distinctions between digital and physical, natural and artificial, simulated and observable in the wild. Technology over the past 50 years has extended the limits even further. It is a means to define and redefine the kind of civilization in the past, present, and in the future.

When creating modern architecture it is important to have an understanding of digital flow and how it is interwoven with the built environment. It introduces the potential for designing and applying technology to augment, rather than replace, human communication and interactions

Architects should be considering how digital media can be used to strengthen societal relationships to how physically responsive (or any form of kinetic) architecture can be incorporated into the built environment. Now, architecture is concerned not only with the sophistication of technology used or the intricacy of designs, but it is also aware of the need to preserve the environment as the human civilization continues to progress.
