what if the enclosing space is said to have no purpose yet the very act of enclosing a space imparts the purpose of space enclosure upon the enclosed space, is that still architecture?
What if the space has a purpose but is not enclosed
then its landscape urbanism
What if the space enclosed yet has no purpose
then its an abandoned architecture for urban explorers
what if the enclosing space is said to have no purpose yet the very act of enclosing a space imparts the purpose of space enclosure upon the enclosed space, is that still architecture? As long as the act of enclosing is architectural, yes
To expand on Frac's comment then, is the box which Schrödinger's cat got stuck in considered "architecture?" Maybe it's more industrial design, since it's not enclosing enough space. Maybe architecture for a cat is not architecture at all. Maybe since the box never actually existed it can't be called "architecture" at all.
For Joker, purpose does not necessary mean function. And to answer Unknown Amateur, architecture more as an "act". It will be restrictive to consider architecture as an object ( graspable , portable, containable).

What is and what is not architecture?
After reading what is art by Tolstoy recently, I was just curious to know your thoughts on this topic
Enclosing space for a purpose.
What if the space has a purpose but is not enclosed or the other way round , an enclosing space with no purpose. Is it still architecture?

Where purpose does not necessarily mean function, correct?
Aesthetic organization of practical reality.
"architecture",is it more likely to be an "act" or an "object"??
