It is important to point out the transformation in the visions of architectural institutions about architecture-public dialogue, the interrelations of architect-client to architecture-the public, in a historical perspective. It can be stated that architecture center as a phenomenon has been emerged with the transformation of the consideration of the functions of architectural institutions from merely guaranteeing competence and integrity to stimulating awareness, accessibility, participation and collaboration of both professionals and the public, in order to achieve increasing the quality of built environment and the quality of life. The role of architecture centers is of stimulating importance for the formation of architecture-public dialogue as a two way interaction between architecture and the public in a cultural dialectical sense, and achieving this formation. An architectural institutution that has undertaken these new functions is named as architecture center, in some countries such as England, Scotland and the Netherlands. Architectural institutions can undertake a key role in the formation of architecture-public dialogue as a two way interaction by means of analyzing the studies of architecture centers as a model.
