Form-making in Art and Architecture: Differences and Similarities [Introduction]
We introduce this topic that whets our curiosity on the differences and similarities of form-making in art and architecture.
A quick observation and discussion was made on the "aesthetics" objective that defines how one would approach this subject. This will follow as a series and the following sub-topics will be discussed:
1. The Role of the Bauhaus and the Emergence of Functionalism
2. From the Classical to the Modern Movement Aesthetics in terms of Form-making
3. How Art and Architecture merged from the Cubist Movement
