Roger Scruton comments that Modern Architecture such as common office buildings have lost its ability to stand, inhabit, and converse with the space and people around it. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater was able to utilize modern and classic elements together proving that architecture can still be beautiful and that man can live in harmony with nature as we re-learn how architecture dignifies man’s existence.

The evolution of architecture tells pieces of humanity’s story as it develops with human technology. The construction systems known to man have progressed from the post and lintel system of the Stonehenge, to columns and entablatures of the Greek Parthenon, to arctuated forms of the Roman Colosseum, and to the truss system.

Architecture is unique to all other kinds of Fine Arts because each work they produce serves a particular function. According to Gilson, an architecture’s form distinguishes what an object is all about that would make it distinct from others while an architecture’s function is determined not to only serve beauty but also for the common good of the people. Take for example architectural works such as Sta. Maria Della Salute and Parthenon whose primary function is to be a place of worship for people.

In class, we determined that architecture can be classified as a fine art as long as the architect’s principal purpose is to create a kind of beauty proper to the building constructed according to his plans. Scruton notes that an architecture has beauty when there’s a reasoned harmony of all the parts within a body, nothing can be taken away, added, or altered because each part needs all the others to complete itself. The evolution of architecture is vital in man because it provides not only the innovation of his dwelling places but his expression of the self through nature.
