Architecture is the study of both the product and the process of planning, designing, and constructing structures, including buildings. Architects are influenced by various concepts in the design and construction of architecture, including sustainability, utility, durability, and beauty. Islamic architecture is characterized by incorporating architectural forms from ancient Middle Eastern and Byzantine traditions. Additionally, postmodern architecture is another popular style in architecture that is distinguished by its emphasis on complexity, fragmentation, and contradiction, often resulting in unconventional designs that challenge traditional architectural norms. Philosophy of architecture and architectural phenomenology are several fields that have emerged from architecture. Through this book, constant effort has been made to make the complex subject of architecture easy and informative for the students. The topics covered in it deal with the core aspects of the subject. Coherent flow of topic, student-friendly language and extensive use of examples make this book an invaluable source of knowledge.
