Architecture is a visual art, and the buildings speak for themselves.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Architecture is the story of how we see ourselves. It is the architect's job to service everyday life.
In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives.
If a building becomes architecture, then it is art.
Architecture is art, nothing else.
Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.
Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space. Living, Changing, New. Not yesterday, not tomorrow, only today can be given form. Only such architecture is creative.
The aesthetic of architecture has to be rooted in a broader idea about human activities like walking, relaxing and communicating. Architecture thinks about how these activities can be given added value.
Architecture has its place in the concrete world. This is where it exists. This is where it makes its statement.
I don't think architecture should be considered as an art form in the first instance. Whenever I say that, it makes people really angry. But this is a very political profession in the Grecian sense. I believe there have to be reasons for every building, and that the ideas should not be self-referential.
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.
