architecture and planning
Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and spaces that are functional, safe, and visually appealing. Planning involves creating detailed strategies for how cities and communities are organized, ensuring resources, transportation, and services are efficiently coordinated. Together, architecture and planning shape our environments, balancing aesthetic design with practical needs to improve quality of life, support growth, and address future challenges. They work hand-in-hand to develop sustainable, well-designed spaces that meet the diverse needs of people and communities.
