art for art's sake or art for life's sake

Art for ‘art’s sake’ has actually originated from the French slogan “l’art pour l’art”,that actually means art itself doesn’t need any justification.It’s the freedom of self to express oneself. It opened the way for artistic freedom of expression in contemporary and modern form of art.Art itself began as a form of delivering a message. The value of art lies in serving some moral purpose.
In my opinion, as an aspiring architect, we’ll have to make some restrictions in our form of art due to the wants from our clients. We might not be able to think and work freely as people used to. So, in order to satisfy their needs, we can no longer count on the strategy of ART’S SAKE.Also,these days, the designing of buildings needs modern and sophisticated technology which might just prove costly for the architect.Hence,depending on pure moral satisfaction doesn’t help and art has to be seen for LIFE’S SAKE for the sake of an architect’s life.
