Problem of Architecture as an Essential Art

Abstract

Architecture is an art. This is the basic theme, the skeleton, around which an architect should build his own standard of work, thought and feeling.

Art is the work of man in contrast to the work of nature. A good architect concerns himself deeply with the understanding of man and nature. In this pursuit he verifies and analyses all possible variables; rejects and chooses his work components.  This never-ending process in which he is constantly involved to construct his perception, is his experience and through the richness of his experiences he builds certain standard. An architect through his work and experience explores himself to know himself, his extent and ability. And thereby he labours, suffers, and exerts his ability to establish new standard in his field of work; he in fact establishes new standard in the field of man’s creative power.
