''Architecture'' has to do with planning, designing and constructing [[form]], [[space]] and [[ambience]] to [[reflect]] [[functional]], technical, [[social]], environmental and [[aesthetic]] considerations. It requires the [[creative]] [[manipulation]] and [[coordination]] of materials and technology, and of [[light]] and [[shadow]]. Often, conflicting requirements must be resolved. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimation and construction [[administration]]. Documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications, defines the structure and/or [[behavior]] of a building or other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.
