What is Architecture?


So, as you may have seen the title of the blog, I will be writing about architecture and its impact on the world. But first, let me tell you what architecture is. Architecture may be any structure that is manmade, such as a building or even a bridge. Architecture has been around since man has been around, when the cavemen built their shelters, they were making a form of architecture. Architecture is sometimes also thought of as anything that is manmade, such as spoons, and computers, but mostly, it is thought of as structures that are manmade and have served a purpose or are simply pleasing to the eye. Architecture is sometimes used as a medium for art. Sculptures are sometimes structures that people do not live in, but they may be monuments of a city, like the Washington Monument. So architecture we could say, that is anything manmade that has some sort of impact on the place where we live and/or something we see in our surroundings.
