what is architecture?

Question

i need to know for school report

Answer 1

I have worked for the past 13+ years for an architect firm. In a nutshell architecture involves the design and construction of buildings. It incorporates the work of civil engineers, structural engineers, and mechanical engineers to insure that the building is on firm ground, is built to withstand local conditions (earthquakes, heavy winds, snow loads, rain) and to meet all local government code requirements. To become a licensed architect requires a college degree and to pass several written and oral exams outside of formal college courses. Most of the exams require you to have working knowledge of how the all the different parts work together, not just in theory but in reality.
