Perhaps the least useful definition currently in circulation is that architecture is "art."If architecture is art, what is "art," anyway?Art is a form of self-expression with absolutely no responsibility to anyone or anything, and the essence of art is expressing oneself. Architecture can be a piece of art, but it must be responsible to people and its context.If we see buildings as sculptural objects (often unwittingly), we will undoubtedly design them as sculptures as well.  This statement controversial, while architects might have their own thoughts. Ask Jay A. Pritzker, founder of the Pritzker Prize, and he may say that "architecture is intended to transcend the simple need for shelter and security by becoming an expression of artistry." Ask The Guardian's Jonathan Jones and he may tell you that "architecture is the art we all encounter most often, most intimately, yet precisely because it is functional and necessary to life, it's hard to be clear about where the 'art' in a building begins." But this ambiguity is part of what makes the field of architecture challenging and exciting.
