building style of a particular culture or to an artistic movement. For example, we
speak of Greek architecture or Gothic architecture.
    Architects design many kinds of structures. For instance, they design houses,
schools, hotels, hospitals, stadiums, factories, office buildings, theatres, and houses of
worship. Architects also design monuments dedicated to the memory of important
events and people. The beauty of a city or town is largely determined by the quality
of its architecture.
    Architects must work with other people to produce their designs. All architects
design a building for a client and must consider the client's wishes and needs. They
make drawings and models that show how the building will look after it is
completed. They also work with the many different contractors who actually build the
structure.
    Architecture is one of the oldest art forms. It dates from prehistoric times and is
founded in almost all societies. A society's architecture reflects the values and ideals
of its people. For example, the ancient Greeks stressed discipline and harmony in life.
The beautifully proportioned Greek temple reflects this emphasis on harmonious
design.
    In designing a building, architects think in terms of space, planes and openings.
They consider a building as space enclosed by planes-that is by the surface of walls,
floors and ceilings. Openings include doorways, windows and archways. At various
times in history, architects have considered certain shapes more beautiful than others
and have emphasized them in their designs. The most popular shapes have included
the square, rectangle, and sphere. Architects often combine two or more shapes in
one design.
    A building should be pleasing to look at, but it should also enable people to live or
work in it comfortably. In addition, the structure should be well built so that it can
stand a long time without expensive maintenance. To create an attractive and efficient
building, an architect must balance three major elements: function, appearance, and
durability.
