architecture?




when i said architecture. what is the first thing that comes to your mind? buildings? arts? space? form?


"Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing and constructing

space that reflects functional, social, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light, and shadow. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing designed spaces, such as project planning, cost estimating and construction administration. A wider definition may comprise all design activity from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture). In fact, architecture today may refer to the activity of designing any kind of system and is often used in the IT world.

Architectural works are often perceived as cultural and political symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements."

Well, that was what wikipedia said about architect ure. I can say that more or less the definition of architecture stated above is almost correct!


why did i say almost?

to tell you the truth.


architect = prostitute


Why?


Architects won't have a job without clients coming to their door demanding their services. it's the same thing as the prostitutes. They worked for the sake of their clients. These two professions will follow whatever order that the client has made. They won't argue much. They will satisfy the client with their great job.


Now. are u agree with me? so, are we saying that architects are as bad as the prostitutes? Well, it depends on how you see it. But both of these professions are in the same level and rank. And indeed they are in the lowest rank in the society. SLAVES.


We are all indeed SLAVES to the high rank people; the clients whom we don't know much but we just follow the route that has been set for us a looonnng time ago.


now. do you have a complete idea on what architecture is all about?

  1. clients' satisfactions
next: pls watch this movie : Zetgeist as we will talk about this later.

history? or His Story?

RAK 344 - History and theory of ARCHITECTURE

This subject consists of two portions. The first part is HISTORY of ARCHITECTURE. Hence, what's come to my mind is we are all going to study and learn basically everything about history following every inch of what the book says. Well, my expectation dropped to the level 0.

On the first lecture, Mr. 1 B (Mr. Wan Burhanuddin) asked us a simple question. HOW DID YOU DEFINE HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE?

It makes me wonder for a second. history? architecture? what is that?

If we reflect back during the junior high school where the subject of history was taught.. i still remember how the book define history.

The book says that History is actually from the combination of two words -His Story

indeed it is :
His Story

and if we translate it into bahsa Melayu:
Cerita Dia

so who is this 'dia' or 'his' in this history context? does this means that the book was telling LIES in the first place?

'Dia' creates stories more or less made it all up and transfer the stories into a medium (Book). and it was called History Book. or should we call it His Story Book?

Don't get panic too fast. we still haven't discuss about architecture just yet. a lot more to discover and we are still in the beginning.

The truth is lying right in front of your eyes n yet we still ignore it as we are the follower of virtual pathetic life that breath based on lies.
