Architecture as Art
Architecture as Art
Form is the result of making and only the experience of an artistic making can guide us to define the formal schemes of the impressions we receive from the external world.
The formal schemes, like the dot, the line, the plane, color, shape, volume etc... don’t come from nature, they come from Art.
If we consider Art not as a fixed form, but Art as the evolution of the human being in the world, then Art is Architecture as the main instrument in the interpretation of world by human kind.
This relation is absolute, is timeless, and based on these thinkings we make the architecture of the future.
“Architects, sculptors, painters, we all must return to the crafts! For art is not a “profession.” There is no essential difference between the artist and the craftsman. The artist is an exalted craftsman. In rare moments of inspiration, transcending the consciousness of his will, the grace of heaven may cause his work to blossom into art.”
W. Gropius
