ABSTRACT
Any art-form suffers from the central conundrum of how a personal vision can be so expressed that it communicates to an audience with whom the artist may have no direct contact. Somehow the artist must harness arrogance or confidence to reach out from a private set of experiences to make contact in some public form. Architects have an even greater problem in that their creations gain their meanings from the activities that are housed within those creations. An architectural form can never be dealt with solely as multi-storey sculpture. We may be impressed by the scale of an aircraft hangar but it will not have the same significance as a space of the same size that we know to be a cathedral built to the glory of God.
