Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is a profound ethic to architecture which is different from the other arts.
Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.
Once you learn to look at architecture not merely as an art more or less well or more or less badly done, but as a social manifestation, the critical eye becomes clairvoyant.
To me, architecture is an art, naturally, and it isn't architecture unless it's alive. Alive is what art is. If it's not alive, it's dead, and it's not art.
Architecture is art, nothing else.
Every one who has a heart, however ignorant of architecture he may be, feels the transcendent beauty and poetry of the mediaeval churches.
I think architecture, to be really intense and fulfilling, doesn't have to be large.
Art is, for me, the process of trying to wake up the soul. Because we live in an industrialized, fast-paced world that prefers that the soul remain asleep.
The details are the very source of expression in architecture. But we are caught in a vice between art and the bottom line.
The very essence of architecture consists of a variety and development reminiscent of natural organic life. This is the only true style in architecture.
