So for some reason i can't comment on questions

I wanted to answer Maiya's question tho...

In my opinion architecture is the only profession these these days that can balance or fuse together the thought of art and commodity. Of course there's a clear line between the two, and art was probably more obvious in earlier architecture, but everything is approached with a pricetag. The only thing i can think of is the clear line between engineers and architects. Engineers i feel like they look at a project and make it structurally work and stand up. They also look at it more with a price tag. While architects make it look pretty and artsy. I mean who wants a building to look appealing and artsy? All buildings will be viewed at from now on as a commodity and art.
