Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing, and constructing form, space, and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, and aesthetic considerations. Architectural design usually must address both feasibility and cost for the builder, as well as function and aesthetics for the user. Some programs are theory-based programs while others are design-based programs. COMMON SPECIALIZATIONS ARCHITECTURAL Emphasizes the engineering aspects of the building design and construction process. This is a multidisciplined engineer- ENGINEERING ing approach with a focus on architecture and design. Architectural Engineering includes the design of building systems including electrical, lighting, heating/ventilation/air conditioning (HVAC), and structural systems. ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY Studies the evolution and history of architecture across the world through a consideration of various influences including artistic, cultural, political, economic, and technological. ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN/ Emphasizes the integration of architecture with the environment to minimize the negative environmental impact of build- SUSTAINABLE DESIGN ings by enhancing efficiency and moderation in the use of materials, energy, and development space.
