  2. the way we construct our world, what we have in our brains spilled out on the streets. the magic and the absurdness of human existence displayed for everyone to see. contrasting cultures show themselves to their Gods.

  3. I already did this word….And this time went a lot faster. As I sat over here trying to think of something to talk about regarding architecture. I talked about Spain and Italy if you where wondering. Ha ha

  4. beautiful.. yet confusing.

  5. the majestic building with the flowing towers sat in the distance as she watched her love walk out of her life. How can this be? It was only yesterday that they had been sitting under the cherry blossoms sharing their most intimate thoughts

    Natalie
  6. I couldn’t navigate the simple architecture of my obvious desires. Embedded in me since the day I was born and only built upon by my father’s selfish hands. In order to move ahead I needed to deconstruct the blueprints of my mind. Now where to start?

  7. Architecture is art on a grand scale.

  8. It’s all about fine lines, careful drawing, no smudges, no mistakes. Insane precision. Perfect models. All beautifully prepared. But don’t get emotionally attached to what you create; it can be torn apart in seconds.

  9. The house looked so massive when I was a child, now it just makes me sad. Small and rundown is not the way I remembered it.

  10. Ted was an architecture professor in How I Met Your Mother. I fucking love that show! And Marshall and Lily had their baby oh my god! BARNEY AND ROBIN GET MARRIED.

  11. The architecture of the derelict cathedral was drab and empty. These churches were never built for this, they were never worshiped in or held in high-esteem. Instead, they were used for drunken celebrations and pagan ceremonies. If home is where the heart is, then this place is not home.

    Tyler Nordhausen
  12. Done with lots of creativity and the knowledge of physics cause you cant have a pretty looking building thats gonna collapse on you the moment you set foot into it can you? I would like to think of architecture as a blend of aesthetic pleasure as well as safety.

  13. This is something that is all around is. We take it for granted. Its high, low, inside and outside. Its all around the world, and like most things, its different every where we go. Architecture creates beauty in places you wouldn’t necessarily class as ‘beautiful’. Homes, churches. Beauty all around us.

  14. I like eccentric architecture. Objects that bend to their environment and twist to fit the indvidual needs of their particular users. Hundertwasser and Gaudi avoided straight lines and developed styles that set them apart from the crowd. You can look at one of their buldings and KNOW who designed them. Trees on the roof – why not? Towers side by side and completely unalke – why not? Who came up with the rule that buildings must be symmetrical, linear and – boring? Why should all the windows be the same size and sit n a line?

  15. I first got interested in architecture from The Fountainhead. Architecture is about how you want to see the world. It is all about creativity. You make what you imagine. It’s like you own the world if you’re an architecture because you get to decide what kind of place people will live in.

  16. same old foam soft drab laying walls, the kind along the inside of my room, resting against the window sucking in all the air, suns and mouths and whatnots, bugs in from the summer, the same old blue walls

  17. I wanted to become an architecture when i was younger, but then i didnt like the idea of doing everything on the computer. Instead i liked drawing the actual concepts and designing on paper that way i can say i drew it and this is my work all on a piece of paper with a pencil. art work. Something that took a lot of effort and creativity.

  18. There is an order to everything. This was a lesson Michael learned during his first days as a student of architecture. Buildings and houses are like sentences, they are made up of many simple elements who’s interaction expands its individual characteristics and makes the whole something incredible. He could say the same of life.

  19. the mastery to build those high vaulted arches

  20. mazes of metal fences. borders of wire in the sky. metal beams of entrapment… metal caves of depression..we build our own cages…….demolish.

  21. El sueño de mi papi para mí, no el mío … tal vez un poco (:

  22. giants and buildings will falll and architecture will be forgotten. the end of the world is an unmoveable object. to think we could have any chance would be simply idiotic of us fools. life will be raw, returning to the earliest years of this earths own life. as if, time travel, through architecture? the possibility’s of the human mind. what will become of it? is our fate the same as the giants fate or that buildings fate? or are we truly an intelligent race? questions. questions. questions?

  23. Architecture is buildings. Creating unimaginable things that amaze the human eye. It keeps life interesting, and makes cities spectacular. By seeing incredible architecture, it enhances your experience and broadens your experiences into new horizons.

  24. Landscape medlies of earth and sound, and lines all up and down and everything in terms of habitual necessity, beauty and living sing song gardens. It is the breath of a new age, of skyscraping haze and cerebral craze that raises shades afront inhibition.

    Juliana Welch
  25. It was beautiful. Clearly ancient Roman, from when the empire was at it’s peak. It was one hell of a discovery for an amateur archaeologist.

  26. architecture: one of the most beautiful things existing in this planet. the buildings that we see and view; all around us, living and breathing pieces of art that we use each day. in my fantasy world this would be my major. if my school offered it and i actually believed that i would succeed in so.

  27. gorgeous white house with modern decor. clean lines. large backyard. breath. smile.

  28. The skies would fall flat on the ground without the man-made horizon to separate it.

  29. It looks dark and gothic in some places. The older parts of town have a sinister look to their dutch-styled roofs and southern inspired paneling. It brings cities together and separates cultures. Order would be impossible without its iconic diversity. Thanks architechture.

  30. Such a simple thing, architecture. Yet, a perfect way to describe how everything is. There is nothing without architecture.; Nothing without planning, and at least some kind follow through. Only architecture… Beauty.

  33. I’ve always found architecture to be interesting. It’s neat how people can take something as simple as a building meant to serve a specific purpose. And then embellish it. I really enjoy creative buildings.

    Sydney
  34. The architecture of the run down barn and the rotting wood and the scent of hay and they way the dust dances in the sun around your face. Moments on red, dirt roads, only ever moments with you I know

  35. i love the new buildings in the new area of san francisco. right by the ballpark. i am going to live there some day and hit all the games, SF baby!!!

    something with real weight and place… a real purpose. to this u are godlike and controlling with success and forititue

  37. I won’t lie to you. I don’t know what I’m supposed to write about the word ‘architecture’. Architecture has always kind of fascinated me. The way buildings go up, how they are built. How they are designed, especially. I could never name a famous architect or point out his work, but I could definitely look at a building and say, Wow.

  38. Architecture is beautiful. I think my ex boyfriend has something to do with crunching numbers for something pertainting to it.

    Whitney White
