Architecture (from Latin, architectura and ultimately from Greek, "a master builder", from αρχι- "chief, leader" , "builder, carpenter")[1] is the art and science of designing buildings and structures.

“Architecture is a science which embraces a large variety of studies and knowledge; it knows and judges all the productions of other arts. It is the fruit of the practice and the theory. The practice is the design even, continued and worked by the exercise, which is carried out by the act giving to the matter intended for an unspecified work, the form which a drawing presents. The theory, on the contrary, consists in showing, explaining the accuracy, the suitability of the proportions of the worked objects. Also the architects who, to the contempt of the theory, delivered themselves only to the practice, could not arrive at a reputation proportioned at their efforts. As for those which believed to have enough reasoning and literary science, it is the shade and not the reality which they continued. That one only, which, similar to the warrior armed with all parts, can join the theory to the practice, achieved its goal with as many success as promptitude. ” (Vitruve)

Le Corbusier said: "You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say: "This is beautiful. That is Architecture. Art enters in..." (Vers une architecture, 1923)

For me, architecture is "creating the space", but what kind of space? The space where we can foun the harmoni, the proporsion and the beauty. I think that the architecture is not creating the form because the form is have already there. Ginius Loci, each place have their own spirit. And Architecture have the function to strengthen the existing form and the existing spirit. The architecte can not be so selvis to give its form.
