“What is architecture anyway? Is it the vast collection of the various buildings which have been built to please the varying taste of the various lords of mankind? I think not.”
“No, I know that architecture is life; or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived. So architecture I know to be a Great Spirit….”
“Architecture is that great living creative spirit which from generation to generation, from age to age, proceeds, persists, creates, according to the nature of man, and his circumstances as they change. That is really architecture.”
—Frank Lloyd Wright, from In the Realm of Ideas
There could be no better definition of architecture that is expressed by someone who embodies that definition.“That Embodiment by the trades, the architectural professionals and those that participate in the process elevates all that collaborate together, making a better Architecture – with a capital ‘A’ ” , says Gerald Olesker of ADG Lighting, a go to source in the design industry.
The practice of architecture is not only the science of building structures, but constructing the visual state of civilization. The hopes, dreams, desires and visions of man are represented by the work of architects. We can understand the evolution of man and the state of civilization through the vision of the structures that leap from the minds of our architects.
This year, the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) will offer four specialized postgraduate programs aimed to enable architects to better prepare for a wide range of twenty-first century careers. The institute will offer one-year degree programs in a Master of Science in Architectural Technologies, Master of Arts in Entertainment and Fiction, Master of Science in Design of Cities, and Master of Science in Design Theory and Pedagogy.
“I am excited to see the advanced educational opportunities offered to architectural professionals, which is based in the Los Angeles area. Our region offers a unique representation of architecture, and there could be no better place for such a groundbreaking institute.”
