It is worth noting how our ability to question many of society’s deep-seated status quo has become more accessible in our time. Thanks to data ubiquity, data analytics has armed the architect and the like-professionals 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 when the waves of technological impact can be felt globally quickly and make an impact with greater precision than ever before. Most interestingly, the field of architecture is suddenly finding itself in the middle of this trend. It is also safe to say that, in general, the profession lags when it comes to adapting to technological discourses primarily due to historically 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 more practical than it has been for both the architect's and the public's understanding of their role in this process. We can do our job better and impact change by stretching the traditional architecture community's boundaries and expanding our collaborations with other experts in the humanities, engineering, and scientific communities. It is an interesting and appealing concept to imagine architects' increased involvement with other fields whose values are often driven by efficiencies. The architect's role has recently been rising in spatial programs, the development of Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of Things in the domestic and urban infrastructure domains, etc.
