Architecture

The theory and practice of building design, including structure, styles, history, internal environment, nanofabrication and nanoseed growth and assembly, virtual sim, sentient and sub-sentient interactiveness, and virch and hard-copy illustration. Seen by some as an almost religious calling, architecture is perhaps the ultimate blend of art and science. Whether it is the design of a humble home for a human or other modosophont, an imposing civic building, cathedral or other temple, or the architecture of a vast Intelligent Super Object, architecture combines form and function in a way which can uplift the spirit.
