I think the most important things people need to remember are:
- We are but one creature on Earth and there is a complex relationship between all of us.
- Humans are far from completely rational beings and this needs to be acknowledged and even celebrated.
- Everything is relative and one should always try to make the world a better place for themselves and others.
Like all art, and social sciences, architecture should express these facts. Architects, through what they express and design, should attempt to make life better for all who come in contact with it.
(The appeal of Friedensreich Hundertwasser's HundertwasserHaus in Vienna is not it's rationality.)
