Architecture is both an art and a science that involves designing and constructing buildings. It draws from various disciplines including engineering, behavioral science, sociology, and anthropology. Architecture aims to design structures that consider their environment and principles of utility, strength, and beauty. An architect is a professionally and academically qualified person licensed by the Professional Regulation Board of Architecture to advocate for fair and sustainable development through spatial, formal, and historical designs. In addition to designing buildings, architects may work in fields like urban planning, landscape architecture, construction management, teaching, and heritage conservation.

in receiving gifts,
But let him preserve his good name
with dignity...”
