Study Notes
Building vs. Architecture
- Building is functional, serving basic needs.
- Architecture is beyond functionality; it's about adding extra elements for aesthetic and symbolic purposes, requiring sacrifice of resources.
Spirit of Sacrifice in Architecture
- Essential to choose the most expensive material available, even if a cheaper option is equally functional.
- Value the elaborate over the simple, even if both are effective.
- Modern architecture prioritizes cost-effectiveness, opposing the spirit of sacrifice.
Two Forms of Sacrifice
- Self-denial: For personal fulfillment and discipline, even when not necessary.
- Honoring others through costly sacrifices.
Old vs. Modern Architectural Work
- Prior generations worked diligently, valuing quality and craftsmanship.
- Current work appears rushed and incomplete, lacking dedication.
Ruskin's Call to Action
- Discard the temptation to settle for mediocrity.
- Quality over quantity: Focus on producing the best, even if it means less finished work.
- Embrace the spirit of sacrifice, even in limitations.
- Honest unfinished architectural work is better than mediocrity.
