I think, Nadia, in answer to your question, that architecture is important regardless of political turmoil, because art (we believe or hope) survives, transcends, and ultimately prevails whereas human crises, urgent and all consuming though they may be at the moment to those involved, are ultimately transient. The Roman Empire crumbled but the Pantheon remains, after hundreds of generations of human crises have been long forgotten.

Buildings outlast builders. Imhoptep's architecture survives after six thousand years.
