Architecture & Record
Architecture is defined as the science of construction, and therefore includes
any type of building, whether it be churches, houses, bridges, monuments etc.

ecclesiastical, but modern design and construction methods have produced a
wide variety of photogenic structures. The principal stipulation is that any such
