- Authors

- Abstract
The article discusses the architectural aesthetics through its function and form. It is said that architecture has been poorly served by philosophical aesthetics. The eighteenth century, which invented both the category of the aesthetic and the modern classification of the arts transformed architecture from the ranks of the decorative to those of the fine arts. It is said however that German idealist reversed the concept and emphasized architecture's infirmities. They operated with the notion of utility or function of a certain architectural design.
