Architecture is the willful and systematic creation of the built environment.
Architecture as an art is the
envisioning of space where there is no spatial definition, the art of
creating order, beauty, and rhythm in the built environment. It is the
art of establishing flow in an otherwise static environment. It is the
art of balancing many needs, wants, and requirements that are often set
in conflict.
Architecture as a process is an
iterative and orderly procedure of proposing ideas, evaluating their
consequences, and integrating the results, repeated. An architectural
project is typically conducted in several successive yet overlapping
phases, with each phase building in detail upon the information
assembled and presented in the preceding phase, thus providing an
organized manner in which to explore and accumulate design information,
while allowing opportunities for the client to evaluate the progress
and to influence the design.
