DEFINING ARCHITECTURE
The first Architectural Design Course always begins with the question What is
Architecture? The question is given slightly to test how well the student understood
the field that he is entering into but mostly to dispel various misconceptions with
regards to the term and to prepare the student for what is waiting for him/her for
the next 5 years and beyond of his/her academic life.
As a subjective question, there is no absolute wrong or right answer. The search is
merely for the best or closest response to what was asked. The same holds true for
almost all aspects of architecture. But before we go to that, you must first answer
the question.
