architecture is...

The art of human intervention.  From the first human to use trees for shelter to the most high technology “green” construction.  Everything people create, build, modify, inhabit, or destroy is architecture.  Not that nature cannot be architectural; it often serves as the inspiration for architecture, but architecture comes to existence through human means.  Architecture is part of our everyday lives; it manifests itself in everything we do, our emotions, our well-being, our environment.  It changes with us and we change with it.  It is the foundation of society, our legacy to be remembered by, and that by which we define ourselves and our peoples.  Without it, and without its diversity, there would be no tomorrow.
