Architecture,+Definition+and+Purpouse


 * MY OWN ARCHITECTURE'S DEFINITION**

Define architecture isn´t easy because is very subjective when someone tries to define it. To me, architecture means life. Neither is a science nor an art, is the mix of both. To do architecture means create spaces to satisfy the needs of the people, community, city, country, in other words, the architecture satisfies the needs of the human beings. But it’s not only create spaces, the architects has to calculate them, design them, study them and make them an artistic works, and all of this stuff were doing based in the experience, knowledge and creativity of the architect who is making the spaces. So, the architecture it’s based in the architect´s life and create new spaces to the humanity and they would have new experiences with it, for this the architecture means life to me.

There are no formulas or books that explain you how to do architecture because each one of us has a different way to think about it. **ARCHITECTURE'S PURPOUSE** **Why do people create built environments of such elaborateness?**
