    Why Learn Architecture?

    Architecture blends creativity, engineering, and environmental awareness to shape the built environment—from homes and public buildings to urban landscapes. It requires a deep understanding of design principles, materials, and cultural context. Learning architecture can help you develop technical and creative skills to design spaces that improve how people live and interact with their surroundings.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Architecture
