Architecture is both an art and a science focused on designing and constructing buildings, structures, and spaces for human use. At its core, architecture is about shaping the environment where people live, work, and interact, combining functionality, aesthetics, and structure. It involves designing spaces, choosing materials, understanding how buildings stand up, and creating environments where people live, work, and interact.
