Architecture is a art when one consciously or unconsciously creates aesthetic emotion in the atmosphere and when this environment produces well being.
Interpretation
Architecture blends functionality with emotional expression to enhance well-being.
This quote emphasizes that architecture goes beyond mere construction; it is an art form that elicits emotional responses from individuals. When architects design environments, whether explicitly intended or not, they shape experiences that can foster a sense of well-being and aesthetic appreciation in their users.
In practice
During a presentation about urban design, this quote could highlight the emotional impact of built spaces.
All paintings start out of a mood, out of a relationship with things or people, out of a complete visual impression. To call this expression abstract seems to me often to confuse the issue. Abstract means literally to draw from or separate. In this sense every artist is abstract . . . a realistic or non-objective approach makes no difference. The result is what counts.
Artistic vision comes from a mind clear enough to fall in love with what we see.
What is it that an artist does when he is left alone in his studio? My conclusion was that if I was an artist and I was in the studio, then everything I was doing in the studio should be art . . . . From that point on, art became more of an activity and less of a product.
Freaks was a thing I photographed a lot. It was one of the first things I photographed, and it had a terrific kind of excitement for me. I just used to adore them. I still do adore some of them.
Don't play the notes. Play the meaning of the notes.
In any really good subject, one has only to probe deep enough to come to tears.
