Technical Driving Force
If we look at the history of architecture, all the significant improvements are driven by technological revolutions. It refers to building construction, materials, and tools labors use. Under each particular technic condition, with the limited budget, there is a specific limitation for building performance. As architects, we can try to find a balance between ecology and aesthetic in current condition. But when we try to pursue both, we may consider about bring in new technology to our design.
Though, architects are like a LEGO player, assemble all the parts together to get a building. Architects' disadvantage is their short in the technical area. Architects can't assemble a building with the parts that do not exist.
If in recent decades, the primary aim for advanced architects around the world was to design an ecological, aesthetical and economic building, then from school to AIA, the whole architects' education institute should lead young architects to a more technical way. The changes can start at the curriculums in college, substitute the aesthetic theory classes to physics, chemistry or biology. Thus, rebalance the common view of architects.
New inventions or discoveries are coincidences. By changing the scheme of education and concentration, we can increase the chance to reach the next miracle.

The eureka effect (also known as the aha! moment or eureka moment) refers to the common human experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept. Some research describes the aha! effect as a memory advantage, but conflicting results exist as to where exactly it occurs in the brain, and it is difficult to predict under what circumstances one can predict an Aha! moment. - from Wikipedia
