| Traditionally, architecture has been considered one of the seven fine arts. Certain buildings or other buildings are works of art as they can be considered primarily in terms of its form or structure of their sensitive or aesthetics. From this point of view, although the means of architecture may consist of walls, columns, floors, ceilings and other structural elements, its purpose is to create meaningful spaces where human beings can develop all kinds of activities. It is in this "sense" that can be distinguished architecture (as art) the mere construction. This is how it is able to determine the behavior of man in space, both physically and emotionally. Although now generally considered that the main activity of the architecture is aimed at designing spaces for refuge and the room (the house), only from the nineteenth century, architects began to worry about the problem of shelter, livability and the hygiene of housing, and expand its scope beyond the monuments and business premises. |
