I thought that it will be boring and just plain analysis of designs when we look at it as a fine art. There are some few things I know like the periods of Renaissance, Modernism and Post-modernism. In addition, Michelangelo, Flippo Brunelleschi and Bobby Mañosa are the famous architects that I have studied. 
Furthermore, I viewed architecture as something sophisticated and full of details. It requires not only beauty, but most importantly purpose and safety.I thought that I need to study a lot of geometry, physics and graphics, in order to understand aesthetics.
I can honestly say that I was naive about architecture as a fine art}]]> 2019-03-01 07:10:08 UTC https://padlet.com/genesis_esmama/vhpo4tmh1s9i/wish/336750750 genesis_esmama https://padlet.com/genesis_esmama/vhpo4tmh1s9i/wish/336750836 _{After taking up the module about architecture as a fine art, my view was enlightened and I have learned new knowledge about the topic.
1.) Historical Evolution of Architecture
*Ancient Architecture
*The Dark and Medieval Ages
*Renaissance
2.) Principles of Architecture
*Post and Lintel System
*Arcuated Form
*Truss System
3.) Principles of Composition
4.) Formal Organization in Architecture
The formal language of architecture and the syntax or arrangement of its elements and
principles of design, techniques and processes, materials, subject representation if it
applies, including style, principles and function in a work, are always pleasing. Its
pleasurable quality comes from the way each part falls into place and coheres into a
whole indivisible formal system where there are no boundaries nor extraneous or
unrelated parts. The fittingness of such form is only seen by the mind in the
conjunction with the senses or contemplated upon. Its fittingness is an object of
contemplation for its own sake, and whose significance is found outside the realm of
independent use (Roger Scruton, p. 96).
5.) Form Follows Function
Louis Sullivan proposes the axiom “Form follows Function” in architecture. This means
that the purpose or practical use or function determines the form in architecture. As the function changes, the form changes and as there are many functions, there will also be as many forms.}]]> 2019-03-01 07:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/genesis_esmama/vhpo4tmh1s9i/wish/336750836 genesis_esmama https://padlet.com/genesis_esmama/vhpo4tmh1s9i/wish/336751120 2019-03-01 07:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/genesis_esmama/vhpo4tmh1s9i/wish/336751120 genesis_esmama https://padlet.com/genesis_esmama/vhpo4tmh1s9i/wish/336751199 _{Many ideas have sprouted in my mind after learning architecture and I still want to learn many more!
First, I would like to learn about the importance of "materials" used in studying the architecture as a fine art. I am curious whether the sets of materials used in building an architecture would play a big role with it being an "art"
Second, I would like to learn more on the "modern" designs that could save up space. As one part of Gen Z, I am fascinated on how modern Scandinavian architectural designs give a simple yet innovative ideas that are very relevant in our present society.}
