we spell architecture with a capital [ A ] I learned many years ago in school that architects often make a distinction between architecture with a lower case ‘a’, and Architecture with a capital ‘A’. While all buildings should be well designed, the former refers to basic buildings, while the latter refers to projects that are special or noteworthy, with a lasting positive impact. For me, as an architect, it means following the three principles of good architecture as defined by the architect Vitruvius and working toward producing Architecture with a capital ‘A’.
