Architecture as an Art Piece!!!
Hello everyone!!
I have an issue. I don’t know if you share it with me.
I feel that sometimes the architectural exercise that we do every day and that drives our lives crazy stands very far from the idealistic concept of architecture as an “art expression.”
I forget due to the stress and the business-oriented job that we do, that through architecture we can create ART.
Art that is visible, palpable, reacts to the place where it is, to the light, to the wind, it shelters us… it can be an artistic exercise that collaborates with so many other disciplines and shares with us, the users, its protagonism.
Have you forgotten it same as me?
Yesterday I watched a video that reminded me off all that. A video that shows that architecture is magic.
I want to share it with you, so we don’t forget what we can achieve thru our jobs.
ENJOY IT!!!!

Paula, I couldnt echo your words any louder. I dont just think it’s us (architects) though. I think over the years people in general have lost that sensitivity to those types of experiences in favor of entertainment and another type of reality (on the web) but also maybe that’s because architecture as commodity has reigned supreme so long. I guess that’s just another one of life’s tragedies, but did you know that this video is not real?
It’s actually and animation. All of it is Computer Graphics. Maybe that’s an ironic twist to this post!
