The world
is full of beautiful buildings, and there's no reason not to believe that Architecture cannot stand
alone as the subject of a beautiful image.
"Noble life demands a noble architecture" wrote Frank Lloyd Wright, "for noble
uses of noble men. Lack of culture means what it has always meant: ignoble civilization and therefore imminent downfall."
Architectural Art is something other than Architectural Illustration, though both strive towards an accurate representation
of buildings and the built environment. When the structure already exists, the artistic image explores the rhelm
of designed human emotion, and that is the drama of great Architecture.
Sir Winston Churchill once wrote, "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us."
