U1. What Is Architecture?
The definition of architecture may differ depending on which person you ask, if you ask someone who has nothing to do with the career he will simply say that architecture is the process of design of a building, but if you ask an architect the answer will be more complete and will add that is the form of art and the way of expressing your self on sketches and construction, the only thing that is constant in every explanation is the element of design, and that´s the important element, designing structures to express yourself and creating unique buildings.
It´s not always pieces of art made by architects, the way an architect builds can impact the life of different types of people in huge ways, architects are in charge to deliver what a client wants in a way that the client is satisfied and has a unique side from the architect to stand out from others.
An architect not only has to know what and how to build and design buildings, but the architect also has to know where to build and how to integrate it into its surroundings, so the architecture is not only the art of designing buildings and different types of structures, it´s also the placement and the integration with the environment.
