Abstract
This thesis investigates how an artistic background influences the way architects conceive, represent, and design space. It asks how artistic modes of thinking developed through practices such as drawing, painting, and sculpture, shape architectural form, spatial composition, and urban imagination. Rather than treating art and architecture as separate disciplines, this study explores their deep structural interconnections.
