My Introduction to Architecture With growth and development in our economy, the focus has shifted from basic necessities to comfort and style, be it for the private houses or the huge office complexes that are coming up.
Architecture is concerned with planning and designing of buildings and other structures.
Over the centuries, people have been giving examples of the beauty of Roman, Victorian, Moslem and Indian Architecture. Today, with no limits to the imagination, architects blend the styles of one or more of these to come up with a contemporary structure that is practical and eco-friendly as well. If you designed a building today, it would have to be functional, safe, within the budget and as per requirements of the client. You may decide to be a designer and use your skills to produce an aesthetic and technically viable structure as per the clients' requirements. You can go a step further and also be involved in obtaining building permission from the authorities, securing contracts with the building contractors, engineers and surveyors and so on.
