Wojciech Odrobina Relationship between architecture and art.
Architecture was considered a reflection of art in a certain time, which expressed culture and the way people perceived the world, establishing a history or an interpretation when they were contemplated. In the course of these last years there has been a strong controversy in concepts about what is the end of architecture and we are surprised by the answers, ranging from the development of form by form to the need to solve evils and future of society.
"Holding that the concept of architecture is an art form is not only misleading to the public, but also potentially damaging to society," article published on the Huffington Post blog by Lance Hosey: perhaps the most useless circulating today is that "architecture is art".
The relationship between art and architecture is complicated, especially since it comes from much earlier, architecture was considered an artistic expression from the time of the Renaissance. Like the great works of the baroque in Rome and the classicism in Europe, considered as works of art of humanity.
Architecture was considered an artistic discipline for centuries, more precisely during the Renaissance when architecture went hand in hand with the construction of the republics (as was the case in Italy) and the role of the architect was valued as that of a great artist with name, surname and background. The scope of architectural work extends beyond the practical areas of legislation, permits, budgets, even beyond functionality.
The relationship between architecture and art is intrinsic, when the function of the structure is not considered, but rather the meaning within an environment and time that frame a cultural meaning. The great constructions of the baroque in Rome, of clacisism in Europe are considered works of art of humanity. Dubai's grand dancing buildings are also considered works of art because of their edgy and edgy design communicating the architect's intention.
