Dematerialization of Architecture

what is Architecture?

Architecture vs. Building?

A bicycle shed is a building; Lincoln Cathedral is a piece of architecture.

“Nearly everything that encloses space on a scale sufficient for a human being to move in is a building; the term architecture applies only to buildings designed with a view to aesthetic appeal."

Nikolaus Pevsner, From An Outline of European Architecture, 1943.

All we need is a bicycle shed, instead, the architect design us a Lincoln Cathedral?

A bicycle shed is a building; Lincoln Cathedral is a piece of architecture.

“Nearly everything that encloses space on a scale sufficient for a human being to move in is a building; the term architecture applies only to buildings designed with a view to aesthetic appeal."
