Architecture

Architecture is the process of designing structures and buildings. It uses both art and engineering. Examples include houses, churches, hotels, office buildings, roads, tunnels and bridges.^[1]

Architecture is the profession of an architect. Usually, a person must study at an institution of higher education (university) to become an architect.^[2] There were architects long before there was higher education. They learnt by being an apprentice to an established architect.

Architecture can do small designs,^[3] such as for a garage, or large designs, such as for a whole new town. The capital cities of Brasília,^[4] and Canberra were designed. Architects often work with structural engineers to make structurally sound buildings.
