''Architecture is the art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with constructions. It is both the process and the product of sketching, conceiving, planning, designing and constructing buildings or other structures.'' ''Architecture began as rural, oval vernacular architecture that developed from trial and error to successful replication. Ancient urban architecture was preoccupied with building religious structure and buildings symbolizing the political power of rulers until Greek and Roman architecture shifted focus to civic virtues. Indian and Chinese architecture influenced from all over Asia and Buddhist architecture in particular took diverse local flavors. During the Middle Ages, pan-European styles of Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals and abbeys emerged while the Renaissance favored Classical forms implemented by architects known by name. Later, the roles of architects and engineers became separated.''
