Слайд 2architecture
Architecture is the art of building various structures which meet
human needs and are of practical use. No modern society
can exist without architecture.
Слайд 3The word ‘architecture’ has Greek roots. It means ‘the principal
builder’. The style of architecture changes according to latest technical
features and people’s tastes. Some people think that architecture is simply the outer look of the building, But it’s not the full notion for this complex art form.
Слайд 4. Architecture includes designing and constructing the buildings as well
as building them. Being an architect is not an easy
job. A good architect should think over many tiny details before planning his project. Later on, he needs to implement these plans without any slightest mistakes. In my opinion, it’s a very responsible and neat job.
