Architecture in other profesions
The architecture is one of the oldest disciplines in the world. The human being has the necessity of having a place to live in, a space capable to make them feel protected, safe.

Then, by the passing of the time, the things started to change, and with that, the objective of the architecture too.
Then the avant garde change the focus of the architecture, passing, in some cases, from being just functional, to being functional too, but decorating at the same time, or using forms which want to express something ,like an idea or something else.
The architecture is present in all places and profesions. This happens because all the other professions need a place to develop what they need to do, for example, a doctor needs to do a surgery, where? In a hospital, who create the form of the building? An architect, all this structure according to necessities of the people who are going to use it and being there later. So it’s not a simple work. Because if you don´t have a place with the features that you need ,your work maybe will not have the quality you want to give it.
So not all the places have the same necessities. A hospital doesn´t have the same structure of a school, for example, the rooms don’t have the same size.
One of the famous architectures who follow this idea, was Louis Kahn, he was an architect who was born in Estonia in the year 1901 (one thousand ninety one). He was from a judish family. Four years after he was born, him and his family moved to the united states because they were afraid of the war.
He studied in the university of Pensilvania.

Louis Kahn doesn´t focus just in the functional, his idea was to give to the
buildings “a soul” , like about the essence of the building. He like a lot and
try to recreate the old constructures of for example the ruins of egypt, Roma
or Greece. He talks too about the geometric figures, like the perfection of the circle , the solidity of the
cube, or the directionality of the triangle.
The engine of his work was the concept of the pure forms. He doesn’t do a lot of work, but they were of a big quality.
