VALUES IN ARCHITECTURE

NIRALI VAGHELA

• ARCHITECTURE IS HEAVILY INFLUENCED BY THE

ZEITGEIST (THE SPIRIT OF THE AGE), BUT WHEN

COMPARED TO OTHER ASPECTS OF CULTURE, SUCH

AS ART, DESIGN OR TECHNOLOGY, ARCHITECTURE IS

SLOWER TO REACT.

• IT IS NOT UNUSUAL FOR A LARGE BUILDING OR

PUBLIC MONUMENT TO TAKE A DECADE OR LONGER

TO BE CONCEIVED, DEVELOPED AND CONSTRUCTED.

• EVEN SMALLER, DOMESTIC-SCALE BUILDINGS,

WHICH ARE OFTEN INDICATIVE OF THE LIFESTYLE

AND FASHION OF THEIR TIME, AREN’T ALWAYS

IMMEDIATE IN THEIR REALIZATION.
