Probably everyone of us asked ourselves at least one time in our life:
What is Architecture?
Architecture is not only building beautiful or ugly buildings, is not only about designing place for work or sleep.
Architecture is important in order to understand the history, the culture and the identity of a place.
Architecture is bringer of meanings that go beyond the simply definition of spaces for people.
Architecture should talk about people, about lives and about emotions.
People’s lives are deeply connected to architecture.
The main task of an architect is to create a living building or a living space. The kind of building or space that connects people to their own culture and history and give them a strong sense of cultural identity.
The cultural identity is another great theme because it gives continuity to a place or to a group of people that lives in the same place.
