Architecture involves more than just designing buildings for shelter or profit. It is a privilege to design structures where people live that also support nature by using eco-friendly materials and respecting the balance between humanity and the environment. A well-designed building both supports human life and involves natural elements, reflecting how architecture can build life for people while maintaining ecological balance.

2. “Economy without ecology means managing the
human nature relationship without knowing the
delicate balance between humankind and the
natural world”
For millions of us, architecture is just creating
blocks after blocks of buildings. For others, it
may just mean a professional job with a higher
pay.
However, architecture is more than that.
Architecture is the privilege of designing
structures where people can live in. Nowadays,
buildings are not only made up of concrete and
steel, but also made up of plants and raw
natural resources, those that are eco- friendly.
So in a way, a building supports and involves
nature and human life.
In short,
architecture IS
building life.
