Architecture is unique from fine arts such as painting and sculpting for its works have a concrete function to which they serve. As discussed extensively in class, the form is only relevant in so far as it fulfills the function it was created for in the first place.]]> 2020-03-10 10:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457459774 beatrice_garcia2 https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457460477 2020-03-10 10:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457460477 beatrice_garcia2 https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457460904 The function of any architectural structure must serve not only beauty but also the common good of the people, similar to how architectural structures were created for worshipping as seen in structures like the Church of Santa Maria Della Salute and the Parthenon in Greece.

Though there are discrepancies in the type of architecture, they all give respect to nature and to what it offers to the beauty and significance of architecture

We have lost touch of classical architecture, and the space no longer serves an intimate purpose of ownership for those who move around it. ]]> 2020-03-10 11:15:04 UTC https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457477697 beatrice_garcia2 https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457478473 2020-03-10 11:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457478473 beatrice_garcia2 https://padlet.com/beatrice_garcia2/sxi2jey00p2p/wish/457478678 Architecture has thus lost its character, and we should strive to bring back the beauty and effort given unto classical architecture to structures we build today.
