Architecture

 

Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων – arkhitekton, from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process and product of planning, designing, and construction, usually of buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

"Architecture" can mean:

• A general term to describe buildings and other physical structures.
• The art and science of designing and erecting buildings and other physical structures.
• The style and method of design and construction of buildings and other physical structures.
• The practice of the architect, where architecture means the offering or rendering of professional services in connection with the design and construction of buildings, or built environments.^[1]
• The design activity of the architect, from the macro-level (urban design, landscape architecture) to the micro-level (construction details and furniture).
• The term "architecture" has been adopted to describe the activity of designing any kind of system, and is commonly used in describing information technology.

In relation to buildings, architecture has to do with the planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the creative manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light and shadow. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimating and construction administration. As documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications, architecture defines the structure and/or behavior of a building or any other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.

Photography ; passion.

 

Since I was child, photography has been one of my most loyal companions. The first time I held a camera in my hands I realized that I had the power not only of capturing a moment in time, a memory, but also I could tell a story. Furthermore, I could create my own world. My camera become my canvas, my emotions; my brushes. My dreams, my happiness and my sorrows; the texture of my images. Later I discover that it was through my lens that I hold the key to new and exotic worlds. Sometimes my camera and I have witnessed the social context of a changing world. Some others times, it has been the beauty of simple things that have always been in front of us and because of its proximity, they became invisible to our senses. It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to share with you through these images a part of my world and myself.

Here I would like to share my flickr account;

By the way, I have my own quote, that can describe my passion, that is,

"Photography do tells a feeling, more than the words can explain."
