RE: Architecture and Philosophy

[Frances Kelly]

Frances to Armando... 
It is agreed that all objects that simply exist or that are found
and made by humans have an unavoidable aesthetic quality that is
embodied or embedded within their form as a property. This
quality alone however while a necessary condition is not a
sufficient condition for the object to become artistic. Something
further would be needed to allow the object to become art. This
would also presumably apply to objects of architecture. It is not
however agreed as you stated that architecture is any edifice
made by a human that gives shelter. The few examples posted here
by listers of what objects might be justly deemed architecture
let alone artistic include those that offer no shelter.
