“…The famous designer, author, and socialist campaigner William Morris was acutely aware of the importance of architecture in society. 23 "The intact surface of antique construction and designing is witness to the improvement 22 He could see the value of basic aesthetics in things, and he saw the architectural style as both a representation of craftsmanship and a "collaborative effort." Even the designer, however innovative he may be, owes his duty to tradition by being influenced by it in some way; men who have passed away help him when he forgets that there was a time when they lived.…”

Architecture is not only a discipline that is related to the field of construction but it contains all of the cultural, traditional, social and historical values of a civilization. Sydney Opera house was built to provide the best platform to the different and renowned architectures, artists and performers of the world. Philharmonic Hall has become one of the world`s ten best concert halls. This is the best place for playing jazz music and world music or even pop music. Riga National Library is spreading the traditional and cultural heritage free of cost to nurture education research and reading skills among the masses. Conservation of such buildings is very much important to save our heritage otherwise we will lose our identity.

The research focuses on the professional profile of architects by analyzing their identity and creative principles. The aim is to explore the professional community of Lithuanian architects who are currently shaping the built environment, to identify their heterogeneity in terms of professional generations. The problem of the research is shaped by the current controversies in the field of architecture concerning the changing status, activities, and responsibilities of the architect. The relevance of the study lies in several aspects: the lack of in-depth sociological research on the professional community of Lithuanian architects; the attempt to verify and clarify the results of the semi-structured interview study Lithuanian Architects on Architecture, and the reflection on the global architectural situation and the new agenda for architectural design towards a high quality built environment. The study adopted a mixed methods research design. This involved the collection, analysis, and interpretation of both quantitative and qualitative data. This methodology is chosen because the research requires a complex and multifaceted approach to the phenomenon of architecture and the problems of architectural practice. It also allowed a larger group of research participants to be reached (450 respondents). The questionnaire contains 13 questions, each is structured in a multiple-choice format, with one option being an open-ended question. The questions are grouped under several themes: 1) the nature and fields of architectural practice and the concept of architecture; 2) the scope of practice and the allocation of professional time; 3) selfdetermination and professional loyalty; and 4) creative principles. Descriptive statistical methods were used to process the survey data. Content analysis and, to some extent, thematic analysis were used to analyze quantitative data from open-ended questions. The study highlights that the professional generations of architects analyzed follow the general trend of architecture, refuting the hypothesis that the approach of each generation is significantly different. However, it has been observed that the representatives of each generation show a particular attitude in a specific area, which indicates the dynamics of an attitude or predicts a change in the architectural community as a whole. The youngest generation of architects is an indicator of change. It is characterized by seeing a great diversity of aspects in architecture and architectural practice.
