What is Architecture
Architecture is the design of buildings. It covers all aspects of the process from inception to the completion of a new building. It may also involve the renovation or restoration of existing buildings and in some instances, the building may undergo major changes in use. Architecture encompasses not only the design of an individual building but also relates the building to those adjacent to it and to the environment as a whole. It is an integrative art that takes account of history, culture, environment, technology, economics, management and law.
Architecture provides a sense of place and support of all types of human activity. Architecture helps the man-made fit in harmony with the environment while promoting health and well-being, enriching lives aesthetically and spiritually, providing economic opportunities, and creating a legacy that reflects and symbolizes culture and traditions.

Architects
Architects undertake multiple roles in their daily work. They are responsible for design work, coordination with consultants, management of projects and management of their offices. The work is exciting and variable – one day they may be working on the concept design of a modern high-rise building, on another they may be working on difficult small details of interior components.
Although design skills are required, the practice of architecture today is so complex that areas of specialization are developing; so that besides design architects there are also those who are experts in management, technology and planning. Computers are playing an increasingly active role in architectural practices, environmental concerned design is becoming more important in architectural design, such aspects are developing as areas of specialization.

Life Planning for Youths Aged 13+
Life planning is a lifelong process for students to achieve goals at different stages of life. In academics, it plays a crucial role in holistic development. Through career planning education, students gain knowledge, skills, and attitudes to make informed choices about education and employment.
Our programmes offer unique experiences beyond regular school courses, focusing on architecture. It helps students understand their aspirations, interests, and abilities, providing a broader perspective on academic and career paths. We offer individual counseling and seminars by registered architects for those interested in pursuing architecture as a career.
