architecture can be significant and long lasting. “Architecture is a social art” on permanent display to
the public. Architecture unlike two- or three-dimensional art is experienced by the participant, not
simply observed. Because architecture resides in the public realm, architects bear a burden of
responsibility when designing buildings not only for their client but also for the common good of
society. This principle is very evident in the hotel industry
