What are you saying? Architecture isn't art, or it shouldn't be?

In technical terms, what I am saying is art is poo.

A bulding should be designed to be functional, & fit for purpose. The best buildings do exactly that.

Here's a terrific example.

St Pancras? LOVE it. Lovely building. Needs no adornment or fancy bits to make it beautiful.

My house? Not beautiful, but perfectly functional. Wimpey Houses tend to be fairly bland.

My car? Functional.

I assume you mean Graveley Hill Interchange, "Spaghetti Junction" is what the tabloids, Soap fans & common people call it.

A thing of pure beauty.

I was actually stopping in an hotel behind that library at the w/end and 'rested' there to have a coffee and a morning ciggy  on Sunday .
I thought it looked ok. There is a MacDonalds under the old library building.

(sent you a pm on here now re: Vegas)

*edit - now sorted, TY.

You thought I was going to fall into the trap of mentioning the hotel, didn't you?

Now dont try to tell me when they designed this, the aesthetics weren't top priority? And I'm sure those fancy wrought iron circles aren't crucial to the structural integrity.

Love the Lloyds building, not so sure about this one of his.

You have lost me there. What have aesthetics got to do with art?

PS - Give us a clue on that question from your Dad, it's driving me nuts.

So good, even Ian Gascoigne would be jealous.

Pure velvet, it glistens.

Love it.

The point is, all that stuff on the outside has a function.  

What you can see on the exterior of the structure are the service cores (lifts, stairs, water, electricity conduits etc), & by placing them outside the structure they gain valuable floor space inside the building. The footprint of the building is quite small, land costs in Central London are just silly, so it all makes sense, as they gain more useable floor space.

From Wiki:

Aesthetics (also spelled æsthetics) is a branch of philosophy dealing with the nature of art, beauty, and taste, with the creation and appreciation of beauty. It is more scientifically defined as the study of sensory or sensori-emotional values, sometimes called judgments of sentiment and taste. More broadly, scholars in the field define aesthetics as "critical reflection on art, culture and nature."

P.S. Sorry but I dont have a clue what my dad is on about!
