Architects incorporate art into residential buildings in several ways:
1. Incorporating sculpture or murals: Architects often create space for sculptures or murals to display in the building. For example, a large sculpture could be placed in the building’s lobby, or a mural could be painted on a wall in the stairwell.
2. Designing spaces to showcase art: Architects can design spaces specifically to showcase art, such as a gallery or a room with a large wall for hanging artwork. The design of the space should complement the art and create an atmosphere that encourages appreciation.
3. Choosing materials and colors based on artistic sensibilities: Architects can use materials and color choices that reflect artistic sensibilities, creating a space that feel more like a work of art. For example, a residential building that incorporates a lot of natural light, large windows, and bright colors gives a sense of whimsy and imagination.
4. Incorporating art into functional elements: Architects can incorporate art into functional elements of the building, such as lighting fixtures, stair railings, or even the doors themselves.
Overall, incorporating art into residential buildings is about creating an atmosphere that celebrates creativity and inspires residents to appreciate art in their daily lives.
