The simple, elegant combination of drawing prints and bright view enlighten you, revoking the memories and dreams you had before.

Architecture is the practice of design buildings and other physical structures. It is often considered a form of art and science due to the massive amount of technical knowledge required to implement a design that has been created from nothing.

Architects have many factors to consider when constructing a building such as mass, texture, materials, light/shadow, cost, construction and technology. All of these factors are manipulated in order to create an end design that appears both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

A very important part of modern architecture is that it is not merely a visual art form. Complete architecture takes into account the entire human senses as well as the environment around the structure, management of power, water and other utilities. There is also a common concept among architects that the art cannot exist in a vacuum and that it must have context, surroundings and contrasts to be complete.

Although architecture is not widely recognized as an "important" and "popular" profession, it is in fact one of the most influential and widely recognized jobs throughout history. Almost everything we know about ancient civilization is based upon what we have found in and about it's architecture and there are countless political and cultural symbols known primarily for their structural achievements such as the Pyramids of Egypt and the Roman Coliseum. Even modern cities and locations are both visited and known by architectural landmarks such as the Opera House of Sydney and the Empire State building of New York.

The history of architecture is also extremely interesting, as human technology, scientific and mathematical understanding increased with our ability to build wonderful buildings. Architecture was born out of a combination of needs, such as shelter, security and worship and means, mainly the local building materials and physical ability. Early architecture was mainly vernacular architecture, a special type of architecture which is based around local needs and means. As it evolved the classic civilizations were born and great time and effort put into crafting areas of religious or political significance and even back in these times architecture was more than just a visual product. The Roman Coliseum was designed so that all of the thousands of crowd members could see and hear the action at the centre and the way it amplifies sound was no accident.

As time passed, architecture developed with medieval structures like the castle and fort proving architecture had a place on the battle field as well. During this period architects, especially in Europe, began to form guilds (as many craftsmen did then). These guilds were designed to help architects work together and achieve more monumental things, a practice that is still in society today in the form of architect partnerships.
