A+U (Architecture and Urbanism)

A+U (Architecture and Urbanism) is a field that explores the design and development of buildings and cities. It combines the principles of architecture, focusing on individual structures, with urbanism, which examines how these structures fit within larger city layouts. The goal is to create functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing environments that enhance how people live, work, and interact. Professionals in A+U consider factors like space, community needs, environmental impact, and cultural context to shape well-organized, accessible, and vibrant urban spaces.
