An architect is a person who plans, designs, and oversees the construction of buildings. To practice architecture means to provide services in connection with the design of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings that have human occupancy or use as their principal purpose. Etymologically, the term architect derives from the Latin , which derives from the Greek (-, chief + , builder), i.e., chief builder.
An architect is a professional who designs buildings and the spaces around them, then oversees their construction. This work matters because architects shape the physical environments where people live and work, making decisions about how buildings function and how they fit into their surroundings.
