Abstract
The article is based on the definition of architecture as an art of shaping space (B. Zevi), comparing it to the art of sculpting, and the concept of sculpting-ness which refers to spatial effects and the creative/artistic character of the designing. The wrapping space of architecture has been treated as a non-material virtual sphere of information exchange. It is a space of mutual communication of: knowledge, skills, art and poly-sensory perception of the recipient. Similar selected phenomena concerning architecture and other arts have been compared. The result points to a common nature of the phenomena in spite of their diametrically different uses. It also points to their identical character respectively in the spheres of: creation, notation, and realization of goals within the individual arts. Additionally the scale and protective character of architecture endow this art with a special utilitarian function which is superior and irreplaceable in human life. The whole article has been treated as a description of earlier research.
