What is Architecture Anyway?
The boring definition is : Architecture is the art and science of planning and designing all kinds of building such as homes, office towers, and schools. However, we architects like to define it as simply as this: Architecture is about passion for design and buildings..almost any kind of building. We work not to make money but rather to Indulge our passion for architecture.
It goes without saying that most Architects are usually talented people who like to design. Most Architects practice as a part of a private firm such as an estate developer company or an governmental institution. Some, however, are self-employed.
Clients of Architects include general people, companies, government or a building contractor.
