Definitions and quotes

Architecture
Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or any other structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

Louis Sullivan, Kindergarten Chats (1918) Ch. 10 : A Roman Temple
