He wants a building to have a purpose and for that purpose to be fulfilled before any artistic values are applied]]> 2018-10-16 14:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293381946 the purpose of architecture to Ruskin is twofold; it may be all well and good to design a beautiful building but without any sort of intention or consideration for the actual sensation of being in the building - it is meaningless to create a building. armend_b3456 https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293382172 2018-10-16 14:49:02 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293382172 https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293382225 To create something functional with a purpose, which is both practical and beautiful.

The purpose is therefore to create the best possible building]]> 2018-10-16 14:50:07 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293383050 The purpose of architecture according to Ruskin is to admire and take pleasure in architecture, as it represents humanity's intelligence and overcoming physical difficulty. https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293383158 2018-10-16 14:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293383158 A vast illuminated missal vilimihailova8 https://padlet.com/sarah_milne1/Ruskin_Purpose/wish/293383455 He believed that architecture could convey information metaphorically, through its surface decoration, and he likened buildings to books – he referred to St Mark’s as “a vast illuminated missal".

And this admission is interesting for, when Ruskin calls upon the architect “to render the architecture of the day historical”, we perceive that he is addressing an issue more fundamental than style, which is the potential for architecture to say something through its antecedents, rather than simply to describe its own structure and function.
