What is Architecture and where the word came from?
Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving, planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures. Architecture came from the Latin word “architectura” or from the Greek word “arkhitekton.” Arkhi meaning “chief” and tekton meaning “builder.” The product of architecture are often buildings, and historical buildings are usually considered achievements in architecture. Architecture, however, is a general term.

3 Main types of Architecture:
• Environment Design

• Interior Architecture

• Landscape Architecture

Is Architecture and Engineering the same?
The key difference between an architect and an engineer is that an architect focuses more on the artistry and design of the building, while the engineer focuses more on the technical and structural side.

Is Architecture a hard course?
Architecture is perceived as being hard because of how time intensive it is – this heavy requirement of a student's time and lack of experience managing their own time creates sleepless nights, long days in the studio and a horrific amount of homework. But the hard work and the time consuming is worth it if you graduated!
