Abstract
It seems that most Architectural students and Architects do not want to grasp the real length and breadth of a particular problem in an occasion that they are supposed to give solutions. Even it is apparent that they tend to be held up to a particular aspect even without a reasonable over looking at the problem and try to give merely beautiful buildings as solutions.
But the fact that Architecture is not merely beautiful buildings, but a coherent system which can participate actively in mans' day today' life, emphasis the need of a more justifiable and well suited solutions.
Certainly in every situation the designer has a great challenge to find out and create well suited Architecture or in other words Contextually compatible Architecture.
In this regard. formation of a particular ideology which helps to get a good knowledge of the "Total context" in the realm of particular building situation, would be immensely important . Then establishment of a theoretical basis, having "Contextual compatibility" as the main theme will be important in order to create an ordered living environment.
