Architecture, like design or fashion, is often hard for people to perceive as an art form, for so much of it is wrapped up not only in purely aesthetic terms—appearances, colors, beauty—but also in feats of engineering. That is, form in architecture, by definition, has to follow function. Take the skyscraper. It is necessarily tall because of the limited amount of space on Earth. Its form—that is its impressive height—follows its function: to fit as much building as possible into a small lot. But the architect takes it further. Instead of merely building a lifeless, monolithic structure, she inserts art into the design, so that each skyscraper has its own character, its own ambience, its own essence. Thus, the Chrysler Building, with its art deco façade, presents a stark contrast to the functional modernism of the Seagram Building, even though both structures stretch into the sky a mere ten blocks from each other in Midtown Manhattan. Their functions are the same, but both solve the problems of function differently and using radically contrasting forms.
