Unit 3: The rifest art in the world.

When people think about art, different forms of it comes to their minds, but never architecture as one of them. If a deeper analysis of why architecture is not associated with art is made, most people would say that art is about the expression of feelings, and that the construction of millions of buildings and houses has nothing to do with expressing feelings. But they are wrong. When entering churches, monasteries, museums, palaces and castles, people always find or get multiple feelings very well influenced by the architecture of the buildings. When visiting a town, it’s sight would give particular feelings to its visitors because of its architecture. There is a big difference in the impression that the architecture of the museum of Auschwitz would give to its visitors compared to the architecture of the roman coliseum or the one from an Aztec pyramid. The truth is that because we see architecture more as a science than as an art, most people do not recognize the difference between only constructing and creating a representation of something. This last sentence is what artists do. Artists create works that represent something. If people actually knew the extremely meticulous work that the creation of a painting, a sculpture or a piece of music take, they would never separate architecture from the forms of art list. For me, architecture is more likely to sculpture but in big dimensions and with the great advantage of even living in an artist’s creation.
