Architecture has also changed in many ways, because of the new technological, aesthetic, global and political conditions of the world.

The professions in the world have international reviews on research, while architects, with a few exceptions, do not. Paradoxically enough, architects change the world, day by day, without the serious «calm research» (La «Recherche Patiente») that Le Corbusier claimed fifty years ago... when he insisted upon the necessary equilibrium and interaction between theory and practice in the professional work of architects.
