Architecture: the art of building
in which human requirements and construction materials are related
so as to furnish practical use as well as an aesthetic solution,
thus differing from the pure utility of engineering construction. As
an art, architecture is essentially abstract and nonrepresentational
and involves the manipulation of the relationships of spaces,
volumes, planes, masses, and voids. Time is also an important factor
in architecture, since a building is usually comprehended in a
succession of experiences rather than all at once. In most
architecture there is no one vantage point from which the whole
structure can be understood. The use of light and shadow, as well as
surface decoration, can greatly enhance a structure.
The analysis of building types provides an insight into past
cultures and eras. Behind each of the greater styles lies not a
casual trend nor a vogue, but a period of serious and urgent
experimentation directed toward answering the needs of a specific
way of life. Climate, methods of labor, available materials, and
economy of means all impose their dictates. Each of the greater
styles has been aided by the discovery of new construction methods.
Once developed, a method survives tenaciously, giving way only when
social changes or new building techniques have reduced it. That
evolutionary process is exemplified by the history of modern
architecture, which developed from the first uses of structural iron
and steel in the mid-19th cent.
Until the 20th cent. there were three great developments in
architectural construction—the post-and-lintel, or trabeated,
system; the arch system, either the cohesive type, employing plastic
materials hardening into a homogeneous mass, or the thrust type, in
which the loads are received and counterbalanced at definite points;
and the modern steel-skeleton system. In the 20th cent. new forms of
building have been devised, with the use of reinforced concrete and
the development of geodesic and stressed-skin (light material,
reinforced) structures.
