    Architecture involves the design and construction of buildings and other habitable structures. It relates to art through its aesthetic products, science through the styles and methods used, and construction through the actual building process. Architectural theory is the study and discussion of architecture, and is taught in architecture schools to inform the work of leading architects. Key considerations in architectural design include ergonomics to optimize human interaction with buildings, anthropometrics to adapt designs to the human body, and proxemics regarding human use of space. Primary elements of design that architects employ are line, color, shape, space, texture, typography, scale, and emphasis.

    architecture. Architectural theory is taught in all architecture schools and is
    practiced by the world's leading architects
    Architecture with relates to Art.

    Architecture with relates to Construction

    Architecture with relates to Science


    Ergonomics
    The word ergonomics comes from the Greek word “ergon” which means work
    and “nomos” which means laws. It's essentially the “laws of work” or “science of
    work”. ... Ergonomics draws on many disciplines to optimize the interaction
    between the work environment and the worker

    Anthropometrics in architectural design. Anthropometrics is the comparative


    study of the measurements and capabilities of the human body. ... The underlying
    principle of anthropometrics is that building designs should adapt to suit the
    human body, rather than people having to adapt to suit the buildings

    Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population
    density has on behaviour, communication, and social interaction. Proxemics is one
    among several subcategories in the study of nonverbal communication, including
    haptics, kinesics, vocalics, and chronemics
    The Primary Elements of Design.
    Line. The first and most basic element of design is that of the line. ...
    Color. Save. ...
    Shape. Shapes, geometric or organic, add interest. ...
    Space. Negative space is one of the most commonly underutilized and
    misunderstood aspects of designing for the page. ...
    Texture. ...
    Typography. ...
    Scale (Size) ...
    Dominance and Emphasis
