Architecture

Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or any other structures.

Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

You probably don’t think of vast islands of plastic waste such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, an expanse of rubbish which some say is bigger than the continental United States. It was feared that collections of plastic debris like this were growing in line with our increasing rates of plastic production over the past decades. However, scientists have recently discovered that these floating eyesores are mysteriously receding – and that’s actually not a good thing…
