Architecture tells the story of a building and to analyze "architecture is a science read like a poem " is hard to do. You could write 30 pages about about that one sentence. Real architecture it beauty. In order to put this piece of art up you need to do a lot of hard work. You need to engineer this building. You need the form that is going to hold it. the steel the plywood the concrete. It is all a science though. If something is off then th building will down. But once it is up it a beautiful piece of work. I am thinking of a great example of two buildings that interwine and look like two people dancing but i can not find it for the life of me. It is in one of my school books at home and i will find it for. But just looking at that building will example the that whole quote.

| I think the building you mean is by Frank O. Gehry (in Pakistan?) 1993, called The Office Building. |
