ARCHITECTURE
Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing
buildings or other structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often
perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art.
USE OF ARCHITECTURE
Architecture, the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills
associated with construction. The practice of architecture is employed to fulfill both practical
and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic ends.
