As I read my three required pages in the book "Why Architecture Matters", by Paul Goldberger, I learned of the three necessary components in architecture which are: firmness, delight, and commodity. I learned of how all of these components are interdependent as well because they can all stand alone, but in order for architecture to be successful it requires all three to work in unison. Another thing I learned is that architecture can be art, yet also not art at the same time. Architecture in its base form is to provide us shelter, but it also is somewhat like a painting because it is to be admired and beautiful. I completely agree with this statement because my home, for instance, provides a great shelter for my family and me but it provides no beauty. Not all architecture has to be beautiful or amazing. It can simply serve the basic functions and necessites of a family. I care more for beauty then just function when it comes to architecture, but through reading this book I've learned that architecture is much more then just a pretty structure. It serves everyone in different ways.
--"firmness, delight, and commodity"--
What does the cursive writing say or mean? I think it is really interesting and makes your blog look cool.

DeleteFirmitas, utilitas and venustas
DeleteI also think that beauty is better than just the function. What does the cursive letters in your blog mean or says?
ReplyDeletewut i am thikin that i agree wit ur post about how architecture requires firmness , delight , and commodity.
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job of wrapping it all up. It helped me understand the basics from the first few days
ReplyDeleteSame with what "architecture at Everest n4" said. Since at a young age, I've always thought that beauty was better than function. Also, I believe that the image with the cursive writing says: "Firmitas, Utilitas, & Venustas."
ReplyDeleteI disagree because function is more important than beauty, but it would also be nice to have
ReplyDeleteI think that the example that you gave about your house was very good and I like how at the end of your paragraphs you add a quotation, makes it look very professional
