Architecture, as opposed to construction-related abilities, is the art and technique of designing and building.

Architecture is a discipline that satisfies both functional and expressive needs, and as a result, it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic goals. These two ends can be identified from one another but they cannot be separated, and the proportional importance accorded to each can differ significantly.

Every society, whether it is settled or nomadic, has a spatial relationship to the natural world and to other societies, and as a result, the structures it creates can tell us a lot about its environment, including its climate and weather, its history, its rituals, its artistic sensibility, and many other aspects of daily life.
