Nomadic Talent
To speak of art is to speak of words majors not by a question of sacralisation, but by the intrinsic difficulty of its conception. We cannot so easily admit an art meaning; still we created objective always will be somebody will say that he is objective from subjective, that is to say, a simple opinion that is not by necessity a principle. The Spanish Royal Academy, to which or or badly, we are bound, gives in the first place the following definition: virtue or disposition and ability to do something. According to this, practically everything would be considers art. Nevertheless, the following definition restricts its semantic field to a personal and disinterested vision that interprets the real thing or imagined with plastic, linguistic or sonorous resources. If this is the art, then we could not speak of the architecture like an art, since its vision is not disinterested. Very on the contrary, it interests everything almost to him so that really to build it is to put itself enters the people (like individuals), the society (like set of those) and the nature (reason why it cannot avoid the aesthetic one). The end item cannot be an uninhabitable building, whereas a film, a painting, a poem or a song can not be included and to be art.
The problem with the architecture is its immediate utility. Nobody only constructs a building they contemplate so that it or to make critic artistic envelope it. The architecture has a basic and simple utility, but besides that, it looks for to pronounce itself with certain aesthetic. As Hermann Broch said, the essential characteristic of a period can commonly be deduced of its architectonic facade. Indeed, a Roman house will give the essential characteristic us of its citizens whereas it is a reflection of needs, visual pleasures, the concept of beauty that they privileged; to sum up, it will say the way to us in that these people perceived the world.
The architecture is a reflection of the society in a certain period and through that reflection it is possible to be conjectured about the art concept that was had in saying period. Therefore, the first conclusion that we could outline is that the architecture is not art but sometimes it will be possible to be considered as a reflection or a form to approximate us to the art of certain period or culture. The architecture will approach more to be a reflection of the art in as much decides it to the architect.
