Architecture

Architecture is for me the art of creating space. Is an art that requires of certain sensibility, values and comprehension of the human needs. The architect is a creator, an artist and a scientist, all at the same time. The architecture develops spaces that bring out emotions and feelings in people. That´s the architect goal, to make an impact on the users of the building, to create a sensorial experience that will amaze them. At the same time I consider architecture as an art at big scale that needs the science as her partner. The architecture has to be aware of the material resistance, the structure of the construction and, for those calculations, having certain knowledge of math and physics. With all this I’d say that the architect is a very complete and prepared professional.


 * Architecture ****,** the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. The practice of architecture is employed to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic ends. Although these two ends may be distinguished, they cannot be separated, and the relative weight given to each can vary widely. Because every society—whether highly developed or less so, settled or nomadic—has a spatial relationship to the natural world and to other societies, the structures they produce reveal much about their environment (including climate and weather), history, ceremonies, and artistic sensibility, as well as many aspects of daily life.
