What is Architecture?

Architecture is both an art and a science, blending creativity with technical expertise to design and construct buildings, environments, and spaces that shape our world. It involves understanding the functional, aesthetic, and social aspects of structures while balancing safety, sustainability, and innovation. From designing homes and skyscrapers to planning cities and public spaces, architects play a key role in shaping how we live, work, and interact with the built environment. Through the study of architecture, students learn to solve complex problems, think critically, and apply design thinking to create solutions that inspire and improve communities.
