Architecture

The field of architecture is the art and science of designing physical structures. It covers a diverse range of specialties and encompasses the design of any built environment. This can go from the macro level (like urban planning and landscape architecture) to the micro level of designing a piece of furniture as part of the interior architecture of a space.
