    Architecture is defined as the art and science of designing buildings and structures. It involves the design of any built environment from urban planning to furniture. Architecture can be defined as the manipulation of shapes, forms, space and light to change our environment. It is a broad, multidisciplinary field that is both technical, artistic and social. The profession of architecture demands the ability to synthesize information from different areas and architects often take a leadership role in coordinating specialists. This course aims to provide students a firm foundation on the many elements that contribute to architectural design and an idea of what specialization they may be suited to.
