We caught up with Kenneth Frampton earlier this week at the event to announce the finalists of the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) in Santiago, Chile. Beyond asking him about the MCHAP jury's selection process, we took a moment to ask our classic ArchDaily question: what is architecture? Listen to his answer in the video above, or read the transcript of his answer after the break.

I feel the essence of architecture is more about the individual experience. Great architecture help one to deeply experience the nature of life. It can be a house, a tea house, a temple, a bridge, a school, a museum... the type doesn't matter but the quality of space and construction that make architectures more than mere buildings.
