The architecture encompasses
The architecture encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimating and construction administration. As documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications, architecture defines the structure and behavior of a building or any other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed. Thanks.
