Architecture is how humans respond to their natural
environment. Rather than suffer harsh conditions, people construct a layer of
protection with varying intentions. While some build to moderate exposure,
others strive to move closer to the natural world. Designed space is for
specific use, whether it be one individual’s refuge or for a community to
gather. There are memories tied in architecture that influence how individuals
view an environment and whether they choose to protect that space or desert it.
Architecture is art, science, history, philosophy,
psychology, ect and architects are responsible for mitigating the strain that
architecture puts on the environment with good design practices. Architects
provide a service and we must learn from our community and strive to improve
their quality of life while also maintaining our own standard of practice to be
good citizens of the world.
