The Architectural Drawing Course: What is architecture?

• 'Architecture is structure built for human needs. Being an architect is having the spirit to build for people'.
• 'Architecture is the design of spaces that can be fundamental and beautiful'.
• 'Architecture is the design of buildings and landscapes with the intentions of being both aesthetically pleasing andfunctional'.
• 'Architecture is the poetry in building in which communities are reinterpreted and refined in varying degrees. However, it must maintain its purpose in its design for human use'.
• 'Architecture is the process of taking a concept or function and giving life to it structurally'.
• 'Architecture is an expression of an artist's beliefs, feelings, or surroundings through a structure, landscape, or object'.


I think architecture is a science and art together in one. It's a spirit to build for people needs. Also it's like expression of an architect's feelings, ideas, surroundings and beliefs to a real life such as structure, landscape, buildings or objects. Architects schould talk and feel their costumers. Architects should feel and understand what their costumers want and also architects can give them offers. Architects should be very close with their costumers to give them a really good result, the result that costumers want.


• Over many centuries, architects have taken on the role of architectural designer, landscape designer, urban designer, product designer and furniture designer.
• Architects design buildings, spaces, campuses, landscapes and even entire cities. Regardless of the nature of the setting - urban, rural, or suburban - buildings have a context. In designing architecture at all scales, the architect should recognize the context both physically and intellectually.
