Ну - с, давай про архитектуру

Architecture — the art and science of building and designing buildings and structures (including their complexes), as well as the totality of buildings and structures that create a spatial environment for human life and activity. Architecture creates a materially organized environment that people need for their life and activities, in accordance with their aspirations, as well as modern technical capabilities, aesthetic and artistic views . In architecture, functional (purpose, use), technical (strength, durability), aesthetic (beauty) properties of objects and their artistic and figurative meaning are interrelated. The artistic meaning and specificity of architecture as art is best expressed by the classical triad of Vitruvius: Strength, Utility, Beauty (lat. Firmitas, Utilitas, Venustas). In the future, this formula was interpreted extremely broadly — as three worlds, or three "kingdoms", with which the architect deals .

Architectural works are often perceived as works of art, as cultural or political symbols. Historical civilizations are characterized by their architectural achievements. Architecture allows you to perform the vital functions of society, while at the same time directing life processes. However, the architecture is created in accordance with the capabilities and needs of people.

The subject of working with space is also the organization of the locality as a whole. This task has been separated into a separate area — urban planning, which covers a complex of socio-economic, construction and technical, architectural and artistic, sanitary and hygienic problems. For the same reason, it is difficult to give a correct assessment of an architectural structure without knowing urban planning.

One of the highest international awards in the field of architecture is the Pritzker prize, awarded annually for the most outstanding achievements in the field of architecture.

Russia. At the mention of this word all the most important, the most beautiful, the most dear to my heart rises before my eyes: beautiful nature, original cities - pearls and, of course, people - our pride, people whose deeds and feats glorified Russia, lifted it closer to the sky, closer to God, closer to everything most wonderful and bright. From the places associated with them, breathes kindness, cordiality, spirituality, something truly Russian. And sometimes there is an irresistible desire to see our family, unique beauty, to come into contact with the lubyan log Russia, with its great past. Traveling in Russia, traveling in time. The superposition of epochs is very close, and each epoch fascinates and beckons with something. Being in a single city, you can simultaneously be in the modern world, and in the times of Alexander Nevsky, Ivan the terrible, Peter the Great. And so all seen in our country can not leave a mark in the shower, especially in Russian. Journey to Russia a memorable one. I want to share what overwhelms me, namely, pride in our mighty and great Homeland, even though it is gone.
