I couldn't care less about these engineer things what matters is that conventional architecture is BORING. Obviously they need new blood! Especially I cant understand why they cannot make the ROOF a little more interesting. Perhaps it hurts?

?

 

Ok, well that's what parametric techniques are trying to do.  It's Design Reform.  Trying new and interesting things visually and otherwise.  I care about the engineering part though... I wouldn't want a roof built from circles collapsing on my head, no matter how visually beautiful it looks. ;)
