    Architecture as music...

    I trust a few members of this website have heard the expression "Architecture is frozen music."

    Ciao,

    No, what is it ?

    Well I looked it up anyway. Interesting, I wonder they relate to each other. I guess its about planning a structure based on emotional response and the environment around something. Ok im not sure what Im talking about.

    Yeah,well you can explain music with help of architecture...
    Forms for example...

    A composition is compared with a building...

    Maybe you heard of something like that?

    I believe that music and architecture share some concepts as space, proportion and material. There is an Spanish song that says " I hear music everywhere". And I don't believe the singer is just thinking about his MP3 !


    See you,

    Here is the link for the lyrics of the song:

    architechture as music

    I believe architechure is like music. A lot of it holds a instrument of some
    type inside for the heart of the structure like the church I go to. You can
    see it when you look up my profile. The church is a 83 year old structure
    that looks like it was designed by a architech genious. Sorry I can't spell
    too good! The heart of the building inside is it's pipe organ. The soul of
    the church are all of the church members. The building looks to me like
    a big monument of it's time. See what I mean.

    Surely similarities can be found between all forms of art?

    As an example, that's why there is so much confusion of classifying Antonio Gaudí – was he an architect or a designer?

    Although the very nature of Classical music is adherence to forms, can't modern serious music in particular be seen as structurally like architecture?

    I love greek architecture in buildings. Look at my profile picture of
    the church I go to. Some of these buildings that are still standing
    is a momument of what people of the day could acheive during that
    time frame. Look the building was built during the roaring twenties.
    And yes I can hear the music of the structure. It sings when the
    north or west wind blows just right.
