About Aesthetics In Architecture

Why talk about aesthetics? Of course quite important for building aesthetics more easily understood by a device, usually because the aesthetic is different for everyone. Just like a language, if there is no language, then knowledge is not transmitted. In architecture, aesthetics is a visual language, which is not the same with some aesthetic language that is not visual, such as language itself. Aesthetics in architecture has a lot of nothing to do with all the visual surface, volume, mass, line elements, and so forth, including various orders of harmony, like the composition.

Aesthetics though relating to 'feel' when you see the building can also be constructed through the application of architectural theory. This is why aesthetic worth in language and discussed it in a device called communication. Aesthetics can be understood and developed through the understanding of various terms related to aesthetic theory, the basis for many branches of art. But look at the various dimensions that affect how a human being to appreciate the beauty, the aesthetic is just a medium to try to explain what is called beautiful, but never could explain what actually happens in the mind of a person associated with the sensation of beauty. In the theory of aesthetics, trying explained the various sides of the 'touched' by the beauty of an object. So, what is beautiful for me is not necessarily good for you.

Why do preferences differ? Is solely a genetic difference or psychological factors? A building could be attractive to someone, but not for others. Determination aesthetics in mind not only grown through the external factors that are present from outside a subject, but also comes from the recognition in her. Therefore the architecture is not always enough just learned through science and objective aesthetic merely superficial, subjective approaches need to know a preference.

Therefore, a successful architect with an architectural object is usually succeed by knowing more about the subjective side of the client, for example by the process of talking with a client. This became the architecture that is based on intuition when designing, but can also a container of the implementation of the theory of aesthetic creativity.

The beauty is subjective, in everyone, opinions about the aesthetic value of a building is influenced by many things, among others;

• Subjectivity itself. The sensation is only possible when our body's biological functions related to the functions of sensation and perception in normal circumstances; such as the eye can see, the nose can smell, in a normal state of mind / perceptual. Can an exciting object 'limbic' in our brains so that feeling of pleasure when in contact with an architectural object. Enjoyment obtained it makes our brains to say something is 'beautiful'.

• The influence of the environment / society about what is called beautiful. Among others:

• Education; what implanted the world of beauty education, is perhaps a view that emphasized continuous and may be rooted in ourselves, as well as methods for appreciating an object is also a method that emphasized continuously.

• Growing opinion in the community. Mostly through the media, aesthetics was introduced as a consensus within a certain scale, whether regional, colonial, and disseminated in various ways. Sometimes aesthetics are introduced are intended to support an architectural trend of related industries, such as the housing industry. Aesthetic ideal which is a territorial-based tradition also can give very big impact.

• The options given by the situation, the only viable option will be selected to use in the design
