art or science?

features these days, thanks to the visionary architects who painstakingly research
and design our working and living spaces. Many people seem to be confused as to
whether the field of architecture is a form of art or science. Architecture is a good

aesthetics whenever we walk past or into a building, but science does play a key
role as well. Without either one of these, a building is half complete.
