Abstract: This study examines how contemporary architectural theories have shaped the journey of architects, especially in terms of professionalization and institutionalization. The study aims to understand the impact of contemporary architectural theories on the role and identity of architects throughout history, taking into account their relationship with urbanization processes. To this end, through a literature review and analytical approach, the evolution of the architectural profession is analyzed, focusing on the changes in architectural practice and theories over time. On the one hand, the study addresses how the role of the architect has changed, and on the other hand, it reveals that the role of the architect in postmodern society has resulted in self-reproduction and complexity, which has led to challenges in urbanization. The findings of this study will enhance our understanding of the role and identity of the architect in the current historical context and guide the future direction of the architectural profession.
