Architecture
Architecture coordinates spatial experience with structure, climate, construction, systems, history, regulation, and the needs of people. A drawing is not the building, and a beautiful object is not enough: the discipline lives in the negotiation among many constraints at once.
Enter architecture through design, building systems, history, site, representation, or professional constraints.

A change in one system usually redraws several others.
