It is remarkable how rampant is our ability to question many of society’s deep-seated status-quo has become in our time. Thanks to data ubiquity, data analytics has armed the architect’s agencies with needed evidence to permeate unprecedented territories that directly or indirectly affect the built environment. What’s encouraging about the trend is that it is nascent and years away from reaching its maturity. We’re witnessing a time where the waves of technological impact are immediately felt across the globe, and we can anticipate them with greater precision than ever before. Most interestingly, the field of architecture is suddenly finding itself in the middle of it all. Not so smoothly, however! It is safe to say that, in general, the profession lags when it comes to adapting to technological discourses due in most part to the insufficient or inadequate transdisciplinary interest, also stemming from unaligned priorities between the discipline’s research and the economics of the profession. The era of data analytics is ushering the field from mere manifestos of visionary ideas to validating proposed ideas into pragmatic solutions in addressing the globe’s most pressing issues.  The way forward is less vague than it has been for both the architect's and the public's understanding of their role. We can do better our job and impact change by stretching the traditional architecture community's boundaries, expanding our collaborations to other experts in the humanities, engineering, and scientific communities.  It is provocative to imagine architects’ expertise’s increased involvement with other fields whose values are often driven by efficiencies. The architect's role has recently been rising in spatial programs, development of Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things in the domestic and urban infrastructure domains, etc.
