I think it depends on what you think is art. Architects look at buildings as art, so why shouldn’t engineers see a computer or piece of machinery as art? Here’s a video I found that mocks Apple’s Macbook Air.

And I have to agree with it, but don’t get me wrong I am an Apple Fan through and through. I also think that people often think artists are drawn to Apple computers because they say it’s easier to do graphic work on them, but could it also be because they like the more eye appealing aspect of them?
Hah. That video’s pretty funny.
I think that’s why Mac’s so awesome. Steve Jobs really does try to make his products works of art — and like a lot of contemporary art, it can sometimes be useless.
But that’s a cool point, comparing architects to engineers. You’re right, I think.
