But first and foremost, architecture should be aiming to make comfortable, convenient, and useful places for people to live or do things.
Art is a nice bonus (if budget and time constraints allow), but it’s perfectly valid to build ugly utilitarian buildings if those buildings accomplish what you need them to do.
Which, unlike what the meme implies, is something the ancient Greeks knew. Yeah, they had some beautiful architecture, but they also had a lot that’s purely functional.
Absolutely agree that architecture has to be functional and convenient. But we shouldn’t be so fast to exclude aesthetics. It plays a major part in well-being. Of course, it’s more important to have housing at all. However, comfortability is not restricted to usability only but should also tickle our neurons.
Eh… Architecture can be art…
