Voice Through Architecture

One thing that I have noticed while taking this class along with my major, Architecture is that Architecture actually shows a lot of voice. Pretty much everything that an architect does in the designing of a building, for example, shows some kind of voice. The project that I had to do for my final durring the last few weeks was to design two towers to put on a landscape of my choice and design these two towers to represent the mind and body. In doing so I designed a very light looking tall, skinny tower with a winding staircase going to the top in order to represent the mind and show that it is almost a higher power and that it has this higher purpose that the body does not. Then I created a much shorter, heavier tower that I designed to represent the body and its very different, but important purposes. Then I used things like materials and different forms and ideas in order to connect the to show that they may serve very different purposes, but that one can not survive without the other. Even looking at past projects where everyone was given the same landscape and information, projects still came out very different from each other and that just shows that people all have their own form of voice and that can be shown through architectural designes like these.
