architecture

okay...so i chose this field of study...must say after mounds of confusion, i am only beginning to understand what this is all about. This thing called 'Architecture'.its more than designing and building . Architecture is a tool which proves that there is a God. He is the highest form of architect. He created the earth. He created the planets. The universe. The bold mountains which root deep in the earth than any human mind can begin to understand. Its always said in this field that, every great building begins with strong foundation. Which foundation is the universe holding on to? Truly, is evolution the father to that knowledge? Is it mere chance that the planets,including earth, have been great structures throughout centuries and centuries? if so, how did evolution know when to stop producing new planets in order for them not to crush and knock into each other? Evolution is the result of a frustrated human mind which is trying to find an explanation to the most deepest creations that any human brain could ever handle. Architecture is the architect's way of expressing the lengths of creativity one can reach to make human habitat more exciting. To create perspective instead of 2 dimension. To increase the quality of awareness of space..architecture is layers of space upon space. Earth is our platform. Earth is human space. We create buildings. A space within a space. We create. Earth is created. Its not chance. Architecture loves being expanded to new heights, it is after all expression of the architect's mind. We never underestimate its worth. It could kill. Right now earth is being exposed to many chemicals which ruin it with every passing milisecond. Thus resulting in us, decaying more quicker than we already are. A structure we create can be destroyed by poor maintenance which could result in it ultimately collapsing.
I've seen architecture expressing joy. I've seen architecture expressing pain. Earth expresses joy with its flowers and all types of splendid creature upon it. We,cause it to express pain by ruining its joy. To the point that it becomes barren and infertile. Our structures express joy and pain in a less intense way. Joy expressed through the creation of fun theme parks and aquaruiums,etc. Pain expressed through the creation of historical museums, buildings which have been ruined by the outcomes of war,etc.

This is the term we call it as students. Fine. architecture is a passion, one which comes with a high price. Architects dont sleep. Thats torture. Architects draw and draw. The client may not like what you have created. You go back and draw and draw but try not to distort the initial idea and eventually get lost.Torture. Architects can ruin a concept with a simple sentence and lose the client as an ultimate result. We have to be careful at all times. Sensitivity is everywhere. From that first initial thought of your creation pre-built. We have to consider the culture of an environment. The slope of its landscape. The architecture already there. Whether it were shacks or mountains. The existing have to be respected for the new structure to be a success. Its like us, in order to be well brought up, experience is sucked from whats already been, our parents. A structure may collapse after many years, it has failed because people's lives may be lost. A structure may be so strong that it stands tall through decades upon decades only to be destroyed by a future generation through bulldozers. That structure has passed. It stood to educate and tell history, for example, the Parthenon, the Colloseum,etc. There are architects who have failing buildings, but we still deem as great. Le Corbusier had his Villa Savoye's garden roof leak. But it has taught us something. That building and nature can be intertwined to complement each other. Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling waters isn't all that great after all. But its beauty taught us that we can use certain principles in order to honour aesthetics.
Some architects have died but have still wished for their work to continue. The Sangrada still continues to this day. The plan is never ending. Architect died years and years ago. Passion.
Architecture is a passion.
My passion.
