Architecture
(from Latin, architectura
and ultimately from Greek,
"a master builder",
from a???- "chief, leader"
, "builder, carpenter")[1]
is the art and science of
designing buildings and structures.
A
wider definition would include
within its scope also the
design of the total built
environment, from the macrolevel
of town planning, urban design,
and landscape architecture
to the microlevel of creating
furniture. Architectural design
usually must address both
feasibility and cost for the
builder, as well as function
and aesthetics for the user.
