“Taste” and Architecture

Lukshi Liyanage by Lukshi Liyanage

Every being on earth embodies their own unique taste. Ask a dozen individuals ‘what is the most beautiful flower in the world?’ and you will receive a dozen different replies, out of which it is almost impossible to determine the best answer.

Since we as humans spend the entirety of our lives, from birth to death, within a multitude of buildings; it is undeniable that this indifference of “taste” is apparent in the world of architecture- both subtle and obvious, conscious and subconscious.

For many, the most familiar built space is their own home, where they will be tempted to make spatial decisions based on their personal and individualistic tastes and preferences- which would inevitably affect the emotional wellbeing of its occupants.


various aesthetic preferences for a living room


However, in practicality, integrating art with technology, all the while creating simple, comfortable and minimal living spaces has its own set of challenges. This is where the services of an architect may become effective- where technical knowledge and critical understanding of aesthetics will be used to ultimately achieve the design at a reasonable cost.

For those unable to afford such services, it would be highly useful to gain basic understanding of combining technicality and aesthetics before building their forever-homes based on their own preferences. Staying engaged with current architecture-related content may not only enlighten the readers on the basic understanding of what is involved in building a house but also spark inspiration and encourage them to dive deeper into the fascinating world of architecture.
