Architecture is the activity of designing and constructing buildings and other physical structures by a person or a machine.

The usual definition includes the design of the total built environment, from the macro-level of how a building integrates with its surrounding man-made landscapes to the micro-level of architectural or construction details.

As a profession, architecture is the role of those persons or machines giving architectural services.

As documentation, often based on drawings, architecture defines the structure or behavior of a building or any other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.

This differentiates architecture from engineering design, which has as its primary object the creative manipulation of materials and forms using mathematical and scientific principles.
