Architecture is the profession of designing buildings, open areas, and even whole communities, often with an eye to the aesthetics of the end result. The word architecture also refers to the overall design: the architecture of New Orleans, of Paris, and so on.
Architects are the trained professionals who design buildings and other structures. The design of a building involves far more than its appearance, however. Buildings must be functional, safe, and economical, and they must suit the needs of the people who use them. The architect who designs a new library and forgets to calculate the weight of the books the fl oor needs to support is doing his or her client and the community a disservice and will not be in business for long. Architects must take every detail into consideration when they design buildings and other structures.
