Architecture is simply an art that shapes space with volume. It has a very practical purpose - for staying, sheltering or simply passing through. A building in architecture forms a volume from the outside and is therefore considered a structure. One such structure includes the arrangement and relationship of masses, the relationship between full and empty, closed and open, the properties of the structure, the peculiarities of the treatment of individual surfaces and the coloration.

In addition to the basic three dimensions (width, height and depth), architecture also includes a fourth dimension, which is the time or movement required to feel the architecture from all sides, to encompass the interior and exterior. The organization and layout of the space, as well as the size of individual spaces and their connections, can only be known from the architectural plans.
