Architecture

Architecture is an art for all to
learn because all are concerned

with it.
-John Ruskin
ARCHITECTURE
Both the process and the product
ofplanning,designing, and constructingbuildings
and other physical structures.
ARCHITECTURE
Architectural works are often perceived as cultural
symbols and asworks of art. Historical civilizations are
often identified with their surviving architectural
achievements.

Latin "architectura"
Greek, "arkitekton "master builder
Architecture is the mastery, correct and

magnificent play of masses brought
together in light

Architecture is
Art of designing and constructing buildings and other types of
structures. It is often referred t as MOTHER OF THE ARTS
because it houses, serves as background for, or occurs in
relation to other fields of art.
[Sanchez, Abad, Jao. Introduction to Humanities. 2002]
Architecture is
It is also by its definition functional. One of the

primary purposes of architecture is to fulfil a need that
led to its creation. Since the needs of different periods
in history varied, different architectural styles and
characters evolved.
"Architecture" can mean:

A general term to describe buildings and other physical
structures.
The art and science ofdesigningbuildingsand
(some)nonbuilding structures.
The style of design and method of construction
ofbuildingsand other physical structures.
The knowledge of art, science & technology and humanity.
"Architecture" can mean:

The practice of thearchitect, where architecture means
offering or rendering professional services in connection with
the design and construction of buildings, or built
environments.
The design activity of the architect, from the macro-level
(urban design,landscape architecture) to the micro-level
(construction details and furniture).
Architecture, Painting, and Sculpture are called

the FINE ARTS. They appeal to the eye as music
does to the ear. But architecture is not judged by
visual appeal alone. Buildings affect all of the
human senses sound, smell, touch, taste, and
vision.
The practice of architecture involves both the conception of an idea and

its ultimate expression in building materials.
(G. Salvan)
The act of creating Architecture is a problem
solving or design process
(F.D.K. Ching)
The practice of Architecture also encompasses the

pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures,
including scheduling, cost estimation and construction
administration. Documentation produced by architects,
typically drawings, plans and technical specifications,
defines thestructure and/orbehaviorof a building or other
kind ofsystemthat is to be or has been constructed.
Architect
A person who practices Architecture
A professional - practices architecture and is
Registered and Licensed
Architecture also exists without necessary

assistance from an architect; and architects
sometimes create buildings which are not architecture.
(Norval White)
Architecture is developed by ordinary people, for ordinary
people; therefore it should be easily comprehensible to all.
(Steen Eller Rasmussen)
It became apparent to us that architecture is generally assumed to be a

highly specialized system with a set of prescribed technical goals rather
than a sensual social art responsive to real human desires and feelings.
This limitation is most frighteningly manifested in the reliance on twodimensional diagrams that lay more stresses on the quantifiable features
of building organization than on the polychromatic and threedimensional qualities of the whole architectural experience.
-Kent Bloomer & Charles Moore
Theories and principles

Applied
in
Architecture
Architecture depends on order, arrangement, eurhythmy,

symmetry, propriety, and economy. All of these must be
built with due reference to durability, convenience, and
beauty.
Architecture is a complex subject. It will help our

understanding to consider separately the four elements or
aspects that constitute it. These are:
I. Human Condition
II. The Architectural Reality
III. The Architectural Form
IV. The Architectural Meaning
The earliest surviving written work on the subject of architecture isDe

architectura, by the Roman architectVitruviusin the early 1st century
AD. According to Vitruvius, a good building should satisfy the three
principles of:

construction.
Architectural Design
The process of developing an idea to a point at which solution of the
problem at hand.
Design must concern itself with both the practical and the aesthetic. If
the resulting structure is to be satisfactory, the two must always be
combined and not separated.
Art is solving problems that cannot be formulated before they

have been solved. The shaping of the question
is part of the answer.
(Piet Hein)
Design is above all a wilful act, a purposeful endeavour.
(Ching)

Architecture

Form primary identifying characteristic of a volume; determined
by shape and interrelationships of planes that describe
boundaries of the volume
Primary Elements: point. line. plane. Volume
Properties: shape. size. color. texture. position. orientation. visual

Form identifies SPACE
Any three dimensional form naturally articulates the volume of
space surrounding it and generates a field of influence/territory
which it claims as its own.
Spatial Relationships: Space within a space. Interlocking space.
Adjacent space. Spaces linked by common
