The highly formal discipline and control in the architectural profession and practice which derives from many famous architects and theorists since the 1920s such as Le Corbusier, Peter Eisenman, Frank Lloyd Wright, Aldo Rossi, and many others, have huge influences and defines the current practices and framework in most architectural education and culture. This led architects to have false perfection in the architecture design process, as they are defined and restricted to the various ideologies, yet forgetting that the current context can be completely different.
