"There is the way of working, sometimes called art, which gives to things made by man qualities of form beyond those demanded by economic, social or ethical expediency; a way of working which brings into harmony with ourselves some part of our environment created by us; which makes that environment, through education, a universal experience; which transforms the Science of Building into Architecture..." - Architecture Culture 

   

Some excitement after reading the excerpt by Joan Ockman & Edward Eigen ...

​

         The importance of understanding the art of our existing environments can only enhance our abilities & capacities as Architects for the future. To be able to sustain our creative skills & with our intentions & interests of social harmony is most important as we grow to become professionals of tomorrow's environment. To be able to distinguish space through light, textures, materials, sound; is the essence of natural beauty in the environment. While we continue to capitalize in technological & digital advancements, the principle of creative ingenuity remain, the most important tool set of an Architect is the same as that of a writer, a painter, a do-er, an artist, & a composer in that we develop our imagination to realization for the world to evolve in. A lot of what we become interested in is a continous study of human interaction through the environment. As critics of today & tomorrow, we must be able to embrace flaws & positivity together to understand the energy that is necessary for the act of Art & Architecture of tomorrow.
