What are all the readings telling us?

One common thread for all the readings is that they al discuss the importance of architecture vs generating and designing. How new technology pushes the limits of design, but also how it can drive design away from what it is orignally, designing to suit it's user and context. It's a fine line between generating design that can be transformed into a real/functional buliding and a building purely functioning on an aesthetic level. Maybe  if we are given more control and education in all these new technologies and programs can we start using them to generate architecture that is just not "pretty" put highly functional with the eventual users in mind.
