Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and structures. Architectural design usually must address both feasibility and cost for the
builder, as well as function and aesthetics for the user. Many architectural works may be seen also as cultural and political
symbols, and works of art.
An architect is a person who is involved in the planning, designing and oversight of a building's
construction. In the broadest sense an architect is a person who translates the user's needs into the builder's
requirements. An architect must thoroughly understand the building and operational codes under which his or her design must
conform. That degree of knowledge is necessary so that he or she is not apt to omit any necessary
requirements, or produce improper, conflicting, ambiguous, or confusing
requirements. Architects must understand the various methods available to the builder for building the client's
structure, so that he can negotiate with the client to produce a best possible compromise of the results desired within explicit cost and time
boundaries.
