What is Architecture?

Architecture is a unique discipline that blends art and technical science, focusing on the design and construction of architectural works—from small residential projects to large public buildings. Architecture goes beyond aesthetics and functionality; it must also ensure sustainability, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Architecture involves organizing and arranging spaces based on the requirements of the design subject. Architectural design, therefore, requires interdisciplinary thinking that spans from social issues such as culture, history, and people, to scientific and technical aspects like structure, energy, and the environment. This integrated approach provides students with a broad, multi-dimensional perspective, enabling them to creatively apply knowledge in designing structures that serve human needs. This solid foundation opens diverse career opportunities in various fields within design.
