Responsibilities of an Architect

It is Sunday today and yet it is not a good lazy one. I am struggling to understand the order of the world, in architectural views. I was reading an article from Dianne Y. Ghirardo, titled From the Margins to the Maintsream, and a few questions arises from the 42-page Introduction.
To sum up the things I am going to say, I'd concentrate on the Responsibilities of an Architect, related to the progression of time and style in architecture. Many styles have developed since the first house of Catal Huyuk and the monumental Pyramid of Giza, but yet architects seemed to detach themselves from the ideal reality of the world we live in. Architects market their style through 'taste culture', what is generally accepted is right, and anything other than that is rather...strange. Not wrong but strange.
Modernism jumpstart the world into production and new civilization, from the war times and demands for buildings has made architects went for 'practical' and 'functional' buildings. This movement made me contemplate; Does architecture has to simplify the complexity of the life of its inhabitants OR Does architecture has to adhere to the complexity of life? The statement above was mostly obvious in the west, due to the fact that culture or traditions doesn't interfere with technology. But in the East, Traditions had been preferred over Western Modernism, resulting in a lot of fusion-style buildings and technology during the high time. New technology has always been the reason to kill the traditional ways of making building, thus claiming it to be more 'efficient' and 'modern' just because it has been produced by the machine.
Another point that pulled my interest in this essay is the actual responsibility of the architect. While big time corporations has CSR - Corporate Social Responsibility, I reckon architects should go for Historical Social/Public Responsibility, in short, HSR. The importance of knowing and studying the background of a project is so vital that the failure to do so might result in low 'human energy', something similar to 'chi' in Chinese in order to make a building 'alive'. Remember when we are doing Masterplanning of a city of even figuring out our building programme for a urban site, we will always look for 'human flow'. History makes it easy. History ranges from anthropology to even psychology for current mindset of a certain population. People's needs changes from time to time, from a dynasty to another. HSR is important so that every architect would not lose its ground and forget their existence. Having lived in an era where money has the veto to everything, we -as a profession- have succumbed to what they called the entrepreneurial capitalism. Yes to money, Yes to power, Yes to opportunity to oppress. But we forgot the real objective why architects are here; or there is no objective for us at all in the first place.
People like Sam Mockbee made little contributions to society that sometimes big-time architects found hilarious to even have time 'helping others'. I am not targeting anyone, I am just concerned with the way our society is turning into. In some places in the world where bribery and corruption is rampant, 'charity' has lost its glory. Charity is always seen as a cheap way to gain sympathy thus making a real cause not real anymore.
My most deepest condolescences go to the people in the profession who forgot that helping people is also our obligation, making things better is not just a marketing term and architect is not a job to selfishly fill up our bank account. Good things are for everyone to share and with this I will spread the good essay, please read this:
