Architecture

You pass this art form every single day, we just don’t always appreciate it fully or realise it as an art form. But it is. Architecture is the art of structures and though it could be related back to some of the very first sheltered spaces to be built, we often relate architecture as an art form to structures like bridges.

Some of the most renown global structures are ancient: the Colosseum of Rome, the Taj Mahal, the Great Pyramids, and Stonehenge, for example. More modern examples would be landmarks such as Paris’ Eiffel Tower, le Louvre, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, and the Burj Khalifa, just to name a few.

Architecture is quite set apart from the other art forms. Although they all have the ability to invoke emotion and express creativity, architecture stands to serve a functional purpose to people. In a way, we can interact with architectural art with different feelings than any other art form because of the necessity we have for it as a utility, aside from it being art.
