This document provides an introduction to the theory of architecture. It defines architecture as both an art and a science of designing and constructing buildings. It discusses the artistic and scientific components of architecture. It also defines architectural theory and describes the different forms and types of architectural theory, including descriptive theory, perspective theory, and critical theory. Finally, it discusses architectural systems and orders and how they relate to the organization of space, structure, enclosure, movement, technology, programming, and context.
