Architecture is petrified music.

Summary

This quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe suggests that architecture has a similar essence and power to music. Just as music has the ability to evoke emotions and capture moments of human experience, architecture can have a similar effect. Both art forms have the potential to create an atmosphere, shape one's perception of space, and elicit a sense of awe and beauty. The comparison highlights the transformative nature of architecture and implies that it too has the ability to touch our souls and speak to the human spirit.
