Understanding Architectural Definitions

The document discusses the definition of architecture and architectural orders. It defines architecture as the product or result of architectural work like buildings, as well as the profession of designing buildings. It also discusses the conscious act of forming structures to achieve a coherent structure. The document then outlines three architectural orders - physical, perceptual, and conceptual. The physical order relates to elements like space, structure, and enclosure. The perceptual order involves how spaces are experienced through movement, qualities of light/sound, and functioning of activities. The conceptual order comprises images, patterns, signs, symbols, and context.
