Journal of the Indian institute of architects :(JIIA)Summary: Looking back upon our history, as far one can per-
ceive, architecture has always and everywhere been involved
with ordering, ornamenting, and decorating bare structures
so as to communicate a message. Even contemporary archi-
tecture portrays this practice.
Honesty and portrayal play important roles which
have led to new meanings in architecture and design. To start
with, we can point out what honesty defines for an architect:
a few believe that honest architecture only refers to being
true to the material used, however this honesty has a much
broader meaning.
Each material has its specific characteristics which we
must understand if we want to use it. This is no less true of
steel and concrete. Mies van der Rohe
Buildings are not only to speak of the function but the
materials that make it, the spaces they carve and the inten-
tions they set out to serve too. True architecture can be said
to be created when the intention and spaces truly serve the
function they simply should.
