The art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. The practice of architecture is employed to fulfill both practical and expressive requirements, and thus it serves both utilitarian and aesthetic ends.

Construction is the process where contractors build structures that serve a particular purpose, such as residential houses, schools, hospitals, public works such as roads, bridges, water and wastewater infrastructure, dams, and railways.

Some of the common construction materials include wood, concrete, steel, cement, bricks, and metal. In this modern era, engineers use the efficient techniques of 'mix and match' to come up with the best construction material and build high-quality structures.
