what is architecture?

We believe that "Architecture is the blend of science and art, working within a set of circumstances and technology, with a team of dedicated design professionals, clients, governments, and contractors to achieve mutually agreed upon, and sometimes evolving, design solutions. Architects respond to the needs and requirements of multiple entities while doing their best to act with integrity, fairness and uphold the ethics of the profession and the needs of the project.
