Real politics and superficial politics in architecture

As architects having an impact on society, I believe we do have the right to express political views in our projects, as long as these are not only scientific tests that do not operate properly. Sustainable buildings that indirectly are making a political stand are useful at the same time. Not only they are beneficial for the environment, but they also work as a teaching tool for everyone. There are also buildings that by itself and their program they are powerful political statements like the Jewish Museum in Berlin, it not only shows a political position of a historical moment but also makes you feel what the event caused to many people. I believe that the weakest projects with a political stand are those that need an explanation behind. Constructing a building with a reflective facade could be anything or just something else nowadays, but trying to make that a political stand out of it, for me, is not powerful enough.
