Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων – arkhitekton, from ἀρχι "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.
