Gothic architecture were built to connect people to God and to Religion, they were built to teach people through their real experience. Renaissance architecture were kind of opposite to Gothic architecture where they were built to celebrate the unlimited potential of human ability, they were built to show the greatness of human creation in arts, sculpture and architecture. The Baroque is to challenge the new possibility and the rules of the Renaissance. The Classical architecture and the Neo-classical were built to display the greatness of the empire. The Modern were built to be minimal, to built for mass production to satisfy the needs of the society, and to create neutral in the society. The postmodern architectures were built to challenge the rules of the modern architecture and to challenge the ability of the technology, and to create a new kind of space. What are all of these movements have in common? The architectures in each movement were built to reflect the style and the NEED of the society. Each architecture is built to satisfy the need of the people; therefore the architecture in the future would also do the same. They would reflect the characteristics of situation and the time that the society are having. Each movement is to built architectures that surpass the architecture of the previous movements, where they are improving in one way or the other by learning from the limitation and the weakness of the past. The modern architectures are trying to get lid of the unnecessary parts or ornamentation of the architecture in the past, to make their architecture more suitable to the life style of the industrial period society. The postmodern architectures are trying to surpass the unpleasant and unpractical spaces and forms of the modern architecture by ignoring the rules of the modern architecture. The later experimentations in the postmodern period were the experimentation about the new possibilities of the spaces, forms and function to test the limits of the technology in architecture. This experimentation would be to explore the possibilities of the architecture and how far it could go in term of construction and forms. All of these movements were on the road that would bring the architects to the design of the ‘Perfect Architecture’. From the past we studied different ways in trying to convey the sacred experience in architecture, we see how efficient architecture are, and now we challenges the form in architecture, all of this are the lessons that would bring us closer to what perfect really is, and are the lessons about building up spaces. For the next movement there would be the new challenges of new things, and this new thing would be the need of the people in the future, and this would raise new possibilities in architecture. To me, I think the perfect architecture should be Truthful to it purpose, which is to be a pleasing space for people. The more truthful it is, the more perfect it is. The architecture should not be perceived as architecture but as a space. It is not just a building but a space and how this built space effect the larger space of the context; this would be a more truthful approach to architecture.
