Architectural appreciation
What do we mean when we say that our homes are “extensions” of ourselves? To put it more precisely, can a home be an extension of more than one person’s sense of “self”? A good example of this attitude – having architecture and the architect mutually engaged – is “preservation and appreciation”. The architecture speaks for what it is, and for what it stands for. It has a function/purpose, it can represent an idea thought how it looks and works; which in our case, defies a visual design that represents nothing more than fulfilling the requirements of its inhabitants. This again, allows architectural identity to be redefined and reproposed as something that does not communicate implications of an Architectural art exhibition, rather the investigation between the inhabitant and architecture as a relationship consisting of themes of individuality and social bonding.
