U8. Architecture as Art

Is architecture considered art?If so, why is it regarded as art, It’s likely that you concur that there is creative architecture if you have ever seen Antonio Gaud’s creations. Although he is one example, there are many other architects who have produced works of art in movements like Art Nouveau and Postmodernism. Let’s continue the discussion and examine a few works of art and architecture.

One of the traditional fine arts disciplines, architecture has long had a close connection to the art world. The process of creating lovely buildings through planning, design, and construction is what we refer to as architecture.

Architecture is an outcast in the art world despite being a well-established genre of art since it does not meet many of the criteria for fine art. Let’s first talk about art and architecture individually in order to understand how they are related.

How Are Architecture and Art Similar?

The same fundamental organizing ideas, aesthetically pleasing components, and perceptual interactions are used in the design of both art and architecture. Because there is a great deal of overlap between the two ideas, it is evident when studying the history of art and architecture that many people were both architects and painters. Both culturally and historically significant, architecture and art.
