Does an architect's ego get in the way of sensible planning? Really? Does an architect have an ego? Well, what is the ego? “Ego: a person's sense of self-worth or self-importance” (Oxford dictionary) this is a very tame definition, most people will agree that the definition of ego is actually the arrogant part of you who somehow makes you think you are superior or the least cynical of us would mean that the ego is the autopilot of the mind, it is the thing that one does by conditioned reflex as a response to any situation, it is influenced by childhood and professional experience, a ego can be flexible and adapt to the surrounding environment, or in many cases not, which gives way to the definition of a person's arrogant trait. Everyone has an ego, in different forms and intensities; varies from person to person, depending on their experience, education and profession. An artist might have a bigger ego than a primary school teacher, artists have to express themselves through their art, they spend their whole life and invest all their energy to bring a piece of themselves onto a canvas, some may say it is purely self-indulgent. Teachers on the other hand must follow a series of rules that they have decided to respect, namely the national curriculum and timetables; they have a very small window of self-expression, every now and then you find the super teacher who manages to juggle the students and bring a personal touch to their teaching, but they are somehow a special breed. You often find that these breeds have very artistic and self-expressive hobbies. Before we get too deep into the ego of each profession, let's quickly and quickly move on to architecture. Do architects have egos? They leave aside the... center of the paper...... the failure of the poem and the work of art. However I wonder if the emphasis was more on the artistic aspect and representation than on the function of the soul of the building, the artists within Zaha Hadid ignored it or prevented its form from seeing it. If she didn't see it, why didn't the designer, engineers and the group of post-graduate "CAD monkeys" working for Zaha Hadid see it. The failure has been reversed as the building is now transformed into a transport museum, it can be argued that not a new building had to be built for a museum, thus cutting costs, but a whole new fire station had to be built fire, therefore without covering the traces of costs. There are exceptions; those were the projects that made sense and adequately responded to the brief even with ego.
