Abstract

Architecture cannot exist without being caring. This seemingly dogmatic statement is tautologous: but means that architecture without caring would not be architecture and would not be necessary. The many definitions of architecture, which have run through history to the present time, show that architecture cannot exist without attention to detail, without attention to the whole, without regard to the context, without consideration of the environment, without taking account of relationships, and above all without concern for humanity. Caring is as indispensable to architecture as it should be to all human activities. So much should be obvious so this sounds a bit banal, but it is necessary and moreover, urgent
