We require of any building, (1) That it act well, and
do the things it was intended to do in the best
way. (2) That it speak well, and say the things it
was intended to say in the best words. (3) That it
looks well, and pleases us by its presence,
whatever it has to do or say. (Ruskin, J.)
The timeless task of architecture is to create
embodied and lived existential metaphors that
concretize and structure our being in the world.
The architecture reflects, materializes, and
eternalizes ideas and images of an ideal life.
(Pallasmaa, J.,).
Architectural Design stems from its original role to
create an atmosphere, how an inanimate object is
able to create mood and feeling as a cultural
amalgamation that the designer conveys to its
users. Architecture in today's time must also strive
to reintroduce the ‘garden ethic’, which is to
create enriching and fulfilling spaces that
promote well-being and sustainability. (Harry
Francis M.)

but architecture must accomplish
them in the best way. In various

Architecture's role is to form
