Architecture

Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or any other structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

Architecture

A few centuries ago... the indigenous and often primitive architectural forms of that time had become suited to local climate through a long process of trial and error.

Ken Kern, The Owner Built Home: A How-to-do-it Book (1972)

Architecture

The true architectural art, that art toward which I would lead you, rests, not upon scholarship but upon human powers; and, therefore, it is to be tested, not by the fruits of scholarship, but by the touch-stone of humanity.

Louis Sullivan, Kindergarten Chats (1918) Ch. 10 : A Roman Temple

Wikiquote

Architecture

The Gothic cathedral is a blossoming in stone subdued by the insatiable demand of harmony in man. The mountain of granite blooms into an eternal flower, with the lightness and delicate finish, as well as the ærial proportions and perspective of vegetable beauty.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, Essays, Of History.
