Architecture has a complex structure that involves more than a single discipline. In this respect, it is possible to observe that it has certain continuities and differences with art. While the product of architecture inevitably accommodates an artistic representation, occasionally the product of art also functionalizes the corpus of architecture, and utilizes it as a medium of representation. Especially today, as the boundaries of the concept of art expands and becomes obscure, once again this mutual relationship becomes a subject of debate.
