Architecture is the overall design of a building, structure, or system that unifies its components or elements into a coherent and functional whole,

  • A formal description of a system, or a detailed plan of the system at the component level, to guide its

implementation (source: ISO/IEC 42010:2007).

  • The structure of components, their inter-relationships, and the principles and guidelines governing

their design and evolution over time

At a basic level, architecture is commonly defined as the process of planning, designing and constructing buildings or structures. True architecture goes well beyond a mere building. Every architect seems to have a different definition of what architecture means to them. Architecture is not a natural phenomenon. It is a man-made phenomenon that stems from the thoughts and ideas of the human mind. Without the human mind, thoughts of the possibilities of what architecture could be would not exist.

Every piece of architecture is created by the universal language of architecture. Architecture as art may make you feel in awe, inspired, or excited. Or, shocked, repulsed or uninspired. Architecture as a political statement may make you feel activated, confronted or disturbed. Or inflamed, passionate or aroused. Architecture as a social statement may make you feel connected, accepted, or included. Or separated, isolated or outcast.[1]
