Architecture

Architects plan, design and review the construction of buildings and structures for the use of people. Architects also coordinate and integrate engineering design, which has as its primary objective the creative manipulation of materials and forms using mathematical and scientific principles.It's a art and science of designing buildings. Architectural design usually must address both feasibility and cost for the builder, as well as function and aesthetics for the use.

The word architecture can have many meanings. Depending on the context, architecture can refer to:
1. any man-made building or structure
2. a man-made building or structure that is important, large, or highly creative
3. a carefully designed object, such as a chair, a spoon, or a tea kettle
4. a design for a city, town, park, or landscape

It is something that hasn't been achieved by mankind at every moment of the history. Architecture is a not -yet-realized dream of human desire to create something that might open a new era or possibility for the world. It is not simply a dwelling or building, and it is one of the things that can hardly be described by a word or two. However, if I must pick a word that describes the best for architecture, I'd like to choose "new-world".

An architect serves in a leadership role to bring together the design and budgetary requirements set by the client, restraints of a site (where the building will be constructed), needs of the building’s users, and the limitations of materials into a unique and balanced design solution. Decision-making, team leadership and creativity are the key elements of making architecture.
Succinctly put, an architect is a licensed professional with specialized skills who designs buildings and cityscapes and helps make real the unique vision of their clients and communities.
