BIOCHEMISTRY
Architecture combines art, design, science, and engineering to create the built environment. It studies how people use space and how buildings reflect culture, technology, and sustainability. You learn design theory, construction methods, and environmental impact. The subject develops both creative design skills and technical precision.
