Architecture

Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving, planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures.

Architects work on a wide variety of projects, from small homes to large commercial buildings and infrastructure projects. They may specialize in a particular type of architecture, such as residential, commercial, or industrial architecture.

Function: What is the purpose of the building or structure? What needs will it serve?

Structure: How will the building or structure be supported? What materials will be used?

Aesthetics: How will the building or structure look and feel? How will it fit into its surroundings?

Environmental impact: How will the building or structure affect the environment? How can it be designed to be more sustainable?

Budget: How much money is available to build the building or structure?
