When we tried to relate construction with architecture is inevitable that both fields are extremely related, we architects express ourselves trough construction, is the way other people can appreciate our ideas and way of thinking. When we talk about post and lintel that is such an original way of expression into what architecture is oriented, we can’t help of thinking that if we only use that structure we might condemned ourselves into a box creation, but is only the union of beauty and function with this structural perform what brings us real architecture. Architecture that shows our soul.
