INTRODUCTION

I know that architecture is life; or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as I was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived. so architecture I know to be a Great Spirit (Frank Lloyd Wright (1939 in Brooks et al. 1987: 7)

As the urban environment expands, the architecture of a city becomes increasingly apparent. Some urban environments incorporate the old architecture of a city with new and improved designs so as to keep the meaning of some of these buildings .These building not only contain beauty but also have some sort of meaning attached to them, be it cultural or strictly for commercial purposes. However the combination of the new and the old can either be gruesome or contain beauty. 

This blog focuses on the different architectural designs of an urban environment and explains the percieved meaning attached to these buildings. Do these buildings have any meaning attached to them at all???
