Why Architecture
Architecture is more than science, the art of expressing & Planning thoughts, ambitions, desire, and much more through (usually grand and/or colossal) structures that stand apart. The science is the study of this art and its ways. Architecture is the reason why we have such a beautifully planned and settled world at our disposal. Beauty might be in the eye of the beholder, but first it was in the mind of an Architect, this how it goes.
But with the world population increasing at an alarming rate even after already being at such a huge number, and the space for habitation thus decreasing, there is dire, almost distressing, need and requirement for not just good, but excellent, knowledgeable and extremely devoted architects& planners.
Good architecture at present can:
- Save the world from an enormous space crunch;
- Add a lot of beauty to our already beautiful world;
- Help to save the environment; and most importantly,
- Will help to provide shelter a lot of homeless and needy with the already existing resources.
