	Architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Architecture (in Greek αρχή = first and τέχνη = craftsmanship) is the art and science of designing buildings and structures.
		Architecture is a multi-disciplinary field, including within its fold mathematics, science, art, technology, social sciences, politics, history, philosophy, and so on.
		Architecture first evolved out of the dynamics between needs (shelter, security, worship, etc.) and means (available building materials and attendant skills).

	Forms in architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are many ways to study architecture and the forms that are created by architects.
		On one hand is the idea of the archetype: walls, doors, columns, etc. The other theory was put forth as an extension of Kant and Heidegger's theory of Relative Homelessness, or the idea of relative values and icons in the world.
		Many architectural treatises from Vitruvius, to Claude Perrault, to Gottfried Semper, to John Wellborn Root, to even Le Corbusier rely on the idea of archetypes to some degree.

	Architecture - Wikipedia
		"Architecture is a science, arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning; by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts.
		Practice is the frequent and continued contemplation of the mode of executing any given work, or of the mere operation of the hands, for the conversion of the material in the best and readiest way.
		Architecture in general spans a great many ideas and places, including the act of designing and building simple carpentry pieces for a home, to residential housing to large-scale projects such as hospitals, airports, cities, regions, etc. Because of the wide ranging nature of architecture there are many ways to look at it.

	Architecture Influenced By Forms Of Art
		This being the case, the desire to attain these ends was evident to every one who saw the building; in other words, the building's effects were artistic in the sense of being genuinely representative of the design of the builder.
		As a consequence, there came to be no apparent connection between the outward form of a building and that for which it was designed;—in other words, architecture ceased to be representative, in the sense in which the word has been used in this chapter.
		Fergusson ascribes inferiority to modern architecture as contrasted with mediaeval, though he does not employ these words,—because of the prevailing tendency in this art to derive its methods from painting and sculpture rather than from the natural promptings and requirements of architecture itself.

	Architecture
		Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings.
		According to the earliest surviving work on the subject, Vitruvius' On Architecture, good building should have Beauty (Venustas), Firmness (Firmitas) and Utility (Utilitas); architecture can be said to be a balance and coordination among these three elements, with none overpowering the others.
		Architecture first evolved out of the dynamics between needs (conducive environmental conditions, security, etc.) and means (available building materials and construction technology).
