Architecture has evolved significantly in response to changing economic disparities. In earlier times, architecture was predominantly designed for the rich and affluent people who had the money to spend on grandeur and luxury. However, with the changing socioeconomic conditions, architecture has become more inclusive and diverse, with more focus on designing affordable and sustainable housing options.
In recent times, architects have focused on creating buildings that are not only visually attractive but also affordable and adapted to the needs of the poor and working-class population. This has led to the growth of sustainable architecture, as architects are now incorporating eco-friendly materials and techniques to reduce construction costs and make housing more affordable.
In addition to this, there has been a growing emphasis on the integration of technology in architecture, which has enabled the construction of efficient and affordable structures. With the use of 3D printing, the construction of prefabricated modules, and other advanced technologies, architects are now able to produce buildings at a lower cost while adhering to strict design and safety standards.
Lastly, architects are also making conscious efforts to create more inclusive and accessible spaces that cater to the needs of all people, regardless of their socio-economic backgrounds. These efforts include designs that enable accessibility, affordable community spaces, and easy access to public transport, making architecture more equitable and inclusive for all.
