Is architecture art?
Architecture can be art. Architecture usually comes with design and design usually follows function. There are also different types of architecture..eg: landscape, buildings, furniture..etc.. Architects are primarily driven by the creative manipulation of mass, space, volume, texture, light, shadow, materials, program, and pragmatic elements such as cost, construction and technology, in order to achieve an end which is aesthetic, functional and often artistic. This distinguishes architecture from engineering design, which is driven primarily by the creative manipulation of materials and forms using mathematical and scientific principles. Separate from the design process, architecture is also experienced through the senses, which therefore gives rise to aural , visual, olfactory , and tactile architecture. As people move through a space, architecture is experienced as a time sequence. Even though our culture considers architecture to be a visual experience, the other senses play a role
