The construction industry can get bogged down with delivering projects and sometimes forgets just how creative buildings can be. Some of the world's greatest works of art are buildings, and art and architecture are closely intertwined. At the most basic level, every painting needs a wall to hang on and lighting to illuminate it - but as I hope the articles I have selected show, the possibilities for art and architecture are limitless. Once in a while we need to remind ourselves that buildings can be imaginative and even fun.
