hi
i have this dilemma about when can one know that the so called working plan (functional ) is indeed architecture
i thought of architecture as being spaces created by forms for their functional use,
also could you please explain the term formal relationship

Dear Vaishali
 I can't get your question 
Any thing which incorporates art and tecnology is architecture. Only its due to the time which made architecture to look like to design a building. 
Hope I have written what you have expected

It's a pretty interesting question, and you can get different answers from different philosophies of architecture.
But in general, a minimally functional plan, conceived without consideration of aesthetic, psychological, and experiential issues, would be more a work of engineering or simply planning than a work of architecture. Building design becomes "architecture" as such, in the intellectual sense, when it embodies elements of art.
Substantial architecture provides functional planning, and at the same provides beauty, and even comments on the human condition.
In my experience it is perfectly normal for it to take a couple of years of study of architecture before enough of the pieces of this self-referential puzzle have been accumulated for it to really start to make sense. But when it does, the revelations can be magical. Like the first real understanding of a Beethoven symphony, or a great non-representational painting.
So keep looking, listening, thinking, and keep asking! |

look veishally , architecture is not defined by a substance.
we can never say that this building is architecture and the other is not .
everything in the world is architecture , it can be a good architecture and it can be a bad one .
God is the first architect but he did not make buildings .
each act of imagination , creation , that can be materialized is architecture , done by an architect , painter , macon , engineer or any person in this world .
so we have to know guys or to set up the difference between functional building and a non functional building and their relation to what is called architecture.
for more specific information email me :
