Defining Architecture: what we do

1. Seperate spaces from one another by creating thresholds and allocating these spaces functions.
    In setting up spaces we determine human interaction and privacy gradient. Essentially allowing or
    inhibiting contact between people.

2. Give these spaces/ seperation/ thresholds character and aesthetic qualities.
     -  volumetric attributes  ( proportion, shape, size)
     -  surface attributes  (texture, colour)
     -  organisational attributes (proportion, scale, hierarchy)

In effect organise how people act and feel.

! who thought it could be this simple !
