Abstract
What makes a building interesting to look at and makes us continue to find it interesting purely through the balance of its lines and masses, through its shapes abstracted from any meaning, is the problematic of architectural composition and education., People judge architecture by its external appearance but when an architect judges a building its appearance is only one factor of interest. The architect works with form and mass as elements of functional art that solves practical problems and also appears beautiful as well as emotionally appealing.
