Architecture is...

...the study of space and the human scalar relationship to the built environment.  It is a thorough understanding of building typology and the interiors that those typologies create.  It is not only an understanding and design of the building aesthetic, but also that of structural integrity and engineering.  Architecture is not only the knowledge of such typologies and methods of using these typologies, but is also the understanding of what ramifications will ensue if breaking or altering such typologies occurs. 

Architecture is a steady and stealthy use of the hand, weighing out each option and choosing the next step carefully, for everything has its consequences in a projects chain of events.  The results of weighing these options is that which creates the aesthetic and social flux. In order for the architect to make purposeful and intentional structures, all spectrums must be analyzed along with the correlated affects upon people and place.  

Architecture is focused on the detail.  This focus towards detail is what creates the purposeful aesthetic.  Until the project is realized at a detailed scale of some sort, the projects full potential has not been met.  Once the detail can be resolved and well executed, then spaces have been truly realized and fully thought out.

At the base of architecture lies the user.  The user can't fully relate to architecture at a scalar level however.  Much of architecture would be lost to ambiguity if it weren't for furniture.  The user can relate to furniture at the guttural  and intuitive level simply due to scalar similarity.  I feel that architecture should be realized in conjunction with furniture design, use, and placement.  Once spaces are thought through to the detail of the intended use, circulation of users, and the placement and design of furniture, this architecture is enlivened with a sense of place and purpose.
