googlism

I asked googlism what architecture is. Reply herewith (I italicised the ones I agree with):

architecture is about people
architecture is a major pitfall
architecture is prominent in iowa communites
architecture is interesting and challenging
architecture is the difference

architecture is not a thing
architecture is right for you?
architecture is donnelly & o neill
architecture is required
architecture is not a seismograph

architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space
architecture is a profession on the move
architecture is dead
architecture is a political act
architecture is a political act by lebbeus woods

[Sidenote: If you don't know about Lebbeus Woods, now would be a good time to look him up. He loves Zaha Hadid and says things like "I am the melody." He also sued the producers of Twelve Monkeys for ripping off one of his ideas(!) and worked under Saarinen when he was young. Class act, IMO.]

architecture is the most delightful of all pursuits
architecture is about meeting needs and making lives better
architecture is weird
architecture is breaking down
architecture is the most practical and the most dangerous of the arts
architecture is required for a human
architecture is the art of how to waste space
architecture is the architecture of choice (?)
architecture is the craft of balancing form and function
architecture is the art or science of designing the built environment

architecture is generally considered an art but is differentiated by it in one respect
