Abstract:
A work of art is essentially some thing in the artists mind and architecture might well be called an art or organization. "Art ornament and symbolism have been essential to architecture because they heighten its meaning make it clearer give it grater resonance" (Luning P N, 1968, 75) People feelings and ideas are expressed through 'art' form. Likewise, a work of architecture too, represents a form of communication and express ideas like any other work of art. So work of architecture , through it's inherits an overriding quality, evokes its expression these expressions make an easy way to create a dialogue with its user, through which they are conditioned and brought on to a common base. For instance in a religious environment, the quality of " sacredness " gives peace and devotion to the user and sets the environment for the smooth functioning of the particular activity similarly, a hotel may posses a dynamic is pleasurable environment.
