Therefore, they should aware of living conditions and cultures. People utilize works of architecture. Architects design space for people live in, not only visual beauty. Besides, if building are utilized as the architect had planned, the architect is good one. They works with humans. Architects work on problems and then design spaces according to solutions. Architecture is a functional and it solves problems. However, there is a difference on architecture from them. ” Art should not be explained, it must be experienced.” I agree on this because we cannot understand just looking at art, we should dig down deep and feel art.Īrchitects, sculptors and painters can use same tools like mass and color. Explaining and understanding architecture is not easy. However, the architect not only concern about building appearance but also concern plan, sections, elevations and harmonizing all of these. Īrchitecture is called Fine Art for centuries and Architecture is assumed to concern exterior beauty. I want to summarize what he says in this book. The author wrote this book in order to help people experience architecture.
Rasmussen believes that architecture should not be explained, it must be experienced. The examples he gave are very good, especially the part about how a child has experience. I had a lot of information when I read the book. I heard it was significant to read this book for first year architecture students. Steen Eiler Rasmussen was Professor of Architecture at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and Visiting Professor at M.I.T., Yale, Pennsylvania, and the University of California, Berkeley, and lectured widely at universities in Europe and the United States. He wrote “ Experiencing Architecture” in 1959.
