Architecture is...

Architecture is... is a statement that innately ties architecture to the state of being. At its most basic level, architecture is an embodiment of the human condition. Thus, it should appeal to human sensibilities in a way that enhances the perception of a surrounding environment. Architecture begins with a human intervention, whether it be as passive as occupying the shade beneath a tree or as aggressive as a complete building design. The human then relates, through each of their five senses, to their surroundings and the environment is conceived of as a place. Ultimately, this place manifests itself as architecture through the human desire to dwell.
