bob lynn on 16 Feb 12A line between art and architecture has truly never been formed. Throughout history the two different disciplines have interlinked, with the latter, for the most part, strongly reflecting, and often relying upon the former. However, functionality, building codes, economic shortages and a number of different factors can often get in the way of artistic freedom in the modern industry.
