Welcome to my blog post.
“There is a fascinating dynamic that working from an architectural subject provides; however freely the painting material flows and however close to abstraction I go, the persuasive presence of an underlying geometry and logic seems to follow. (Martin Goold)”
Since modern architecture was defined, the world of art as well as architecture has been debating whether architecture is an art or just the creation of a solid structure for the benefit of society. To shed light on the debate, one first has to define the definition of "art," which has been an issue since Ancient Greece. In brief, art is a human activity of creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts or artworks. Through artistic creation, the artist finds the opportunity to express their emotions and the idea of aesthetics along with their imagination, and express imaginative or technical skills. However, American musician Frank Zappa puts it in simpler words and says, "Art is making something out of nothing and selling it." On the other hand, architecture is defined as the process of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures.
From my opinion , architecture is an art form, especially in a time when all art forms are transitional and definitions are clearly. Although architecture's main concern is form and usefulness, certain architectural structures around the world are not merely serving the good of society, but also play with the aesthetic notions of people.
Turkish architect Emre Arolat's award winning design, "Sancaklar Mosque," imitates nature, just like Aristotle said. It is in harmony with the landscape, making it one of the most influential mosque designs. I believe that architecture is an art form because it comes into being as a result of creative thinking, just like writing a poem. As opposed to the bohemian artists of the 20th century who produce art for themselves, 21st century architects create art while serving the benefit of society.
