Architecture
Integrating Design and Technology
Architecture is the art and science of designing and constructing the built environment while balancing social, political, economic, technical, and aesthetic requirements with human needs. Although building design is the primary focus of this program of study, knowledge about how people impact their surroundings, and manage resources during construction is also of major importance. Architects rely on an understanding of a diversity of subjects including mathematics, physics, design, graphics, engineering, architectural history, visual art, social sciences, and humanities.
