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.
