Wojciech Odrobina - What makes a building considered good architecture?

The architect's job is more than the construction of real estate but the expression of feelings or messages - Wojciech Odrobina Carrick On Shannon

Architecture is considered as an element of expression where architects communicate, through their projects, their feelings or reflect what is currently lived in the City.

“Any construction for the use that it has or is going to be, must transmit something that can be happiness, sadness, dynamism, energy and in addition to finding a meaning, a reason for its construction, that is a building with a good architecture” - Wojciech Odrobina

When does an architecture building become art?
Vitruvius already said it, a long time ago, writing in ancient Rome around the year 30 BC, when he identified the three essential elements, but often in conflict, of all great architecture; what he called "commodities, firmness and joy."

They are what we could call today function, to meet the needs of those who inhabit a building; structure, to stay upright and protect us from rain, and beauty, for an aesthetic contribution.

Architecture becomes art when it finds a resolution in those imperatives by creating passion in its tension. A building is not art simply because it is virtuous and functional or because it is sustainable or socially equitable. This is not enough.

Something else is needed, good architecture is only one that excites us or produces a shock, a feeling of satisfaction, pleasure and happiness. When you walk the streets of your city, look up and see what excites you.

Wojciech Odrobina Longford - Architecture is culture

Architecture is one of the great cultural expressions that defines the identity of places. How is a city perceived in the world? The answer is reduced to people, the physical environment and culture. The architecture is in a continuous loop between the three. For a city, architecture represents the clothes you wear for a job interview.
