My+definition+of+architecture

For me, architecture is a lot more than just a proffesion, it is art transformed into something useful for a community, a city or even one person. It consist in a discipline by which living spaces are created, spaces that can make people feel comfortable, that can improve the every-day life of that person. Obvioustly, every architect needs a basic knowledge of calculus and physics in orden to prevent structures from falling down, but, even more important than scientific knowledge an architect needs to love what he does, and has to be creative and imaginative. Architecture is the perfect balance between art and science.

In the words of the famous brazilian architect,Oscar Niemeyer, "I want my work to be beautiful, that aproaches people to a piece of art, because architecture is an art."

The City Hall "President Tancredo Neves" in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. This is Niemeyer's latest work.
