Architecture
Architecture came from the Latin word
“architectura” or from the Greek word
“arkhitekton.” Arkhi meaning “chief” and

sometimes called monumental sculpture, meaning either or both of sculpture that

Example of sculpture:
Freestanding sculpture
o a sculpture that is unattached to any background
o These sculptures can be walked around and viewed from all angles.
o be attached at the base for support.
Relief sculpture
o Relief sculpture is a complex art form that combines many features of the two-
dimensional pictorial arts and the three-dimensional sculptural arts.
o Like a picture, is dependent on a supporting surface.
o its composition must be extended in a plane to be visible.

FAMOUS ARCHITECTS AND
THEIR WORKS
Antoni Gaudí
o He was a Spanish Catalan architect from Reus
and the best known practitioner of Catalan
Modernism.
o His works reflect an individualized and
distinctive style. Most are located in
Barcelona, including his magnum opus, the
Sagrada Família. Gaudí's work was influenced
by his passions in life architecture, nature,
and religion. He considered every detail of
his creations and integrated into his
architecture such crafts as ceramics, stained
glass, wrought ironwork forging and
carpentry. He also introduced new
techniques in the treatment of materials,
such as trencadís which used waste ceramic
pieces.

a similar pattern emerges. The designers
and architects that create trends and
have a significant impact on the
appearance of modern cities have found
ways to bend the traditional rules of
designing in physical form.
What is Art
Appreciation in
Sculpture and
Architecture
o Architecture is the art and science of designing structures and spaces for human use.
Related to sculpture, architecture creates three-dimensional objects that serve human
purposes and forms visual relationships with the surrounding areas.
o Art appreciation is an integral subject that has not received the limelight it deserves in
architectural education-driven broadly by technical content. Architecture and art are the
physical evidence that remains of ancient civilization and history that help us understand
the dynamic conditions by looking closely at the work and critiquing using formalism
theory solely based on the oeuvre of an artist or movement.
o There are two crucial objective aspects to consider; One being the principles of art –
movement, unity, harmony, variety, balance, contrast, proportions and pattern, and
other being the elements of art – line, shape, tone, color, pattern, texture and form.
They give a non-biased and comprehensive parameter to evaluate and constitution.
Appreciating Art in
Sculpture and
Architecture
Sculpture
o Art can be expressed in a lot of ways and one of that is through
sculpture. Ancient sculpture made use of different materials and this
kind of art has been passed on until it is continuously appreciated
today. The statues, clay formations, wood carvings and other designs
you see today are the result of art. Some are even preserved and
displayed in galleries and museums and even until now they are still
as beautiful as they once were. As you look at this kind of art, you
must point out certain things so that you will really appreciate how it
is done. First, you must try to check what material it is made of.
o You will be amazed how something very simple like the raw material
being used can become so elegant and stylistic. Sculpture
information includes the common materials used in this kind of art
and they are stones, clay, wood, metals and plastics. From these
simple raw materials, a sculptor shapes it into something useful. It
can be used for decorations o even for work. But mostly when used
as decorations, it is truly a physical attraction and when you see
them, you would really appreciate art even more.
Architecture
o Art is a human discipline that explains the fragility, temporariness,
and even potential immortality of sentiments and emotions. They
are the projected visions of people, and viewing them means
seeing through the mind and the heart of the artist. A lot of people
think that art is unnecessarily profound, and that dealing with the
vicissitudes of life is a more practical approach to living.

dimensional forms that protrude from a
surface but are still connected to it. If you
have a coin in your pocket, look carefully at its
surface designs. They are examples of shallow
relief sculptures.
Architecture
The characteristics that distinguish a work of
architecture from other built structures are the
suitability of the work to use by human beings in
general and the adaptability of it to particular human
activities, the stability and permanence of the work’s
construction, and the communication of experience
and ideas through its form. All these conditions must
be met in architecture. The second is a constant,
while the first and third vary in relative importance
according to the social function of buildings. If the
function is chiefly utilitarian, as in a factory,
communication is of less importance.
