architecture and urban design

Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and structures, focusing on aesthetics, functionality, and safety. Urban design involves planning and organizing spaces in cities, considering how buildings interact with public spaces, transportation, and community needs. Both fields aim to create environments that enhance quality of life, blending beauty and utility. Architects design individual structures, while urban designers plan larger areas, shaping how people experience and move through urban spaces. Together, they influence how environments reflect culture, sustainability, and social interaction.
