Writing exercise: defining architecture
It’s a dreadful cliché, but generic architecture, like a substance or phenomenon, exists like this image in the general imagination of the west.
A Limited Definition of architecture
The following definition of architecture was made using only the 1000 most common words in the english language. It’s an interesting challenge that you can attempt here with any concept:
“Places and spaces that are more interesting than other places because people have thought hard about how they are made and have made them carefully. These places and spaces are all around us but some are more important than others because of how they are made. We study, talk and write about those important places and spaces. We change old ones sometimes, and we make new ones other times.”
