Architecture is the art and science of building. The art of architecture means constructing a building that captivates our senses and pleases the eye, while the science of architecture means how to actually construct the building.
A person who trains to be an architect and passes the licensing exam is an architect. The word "architect" comes from the Greek word "architekton," meaning chief builder. However, an architect is not a builder; they decide on the form of the building, how it will be used, and how well it will harmonize with its surroundings. They then create drawings that use models for construction.
In *The Future Architect's Handbook*, you studied the drawings of architect Aaron's house. In *The Future Architect's Tool Kit*, you will design your own drawings of your own house. You will also meet some clients who want you to design for them.
This workbook includes an architect's toolkit, like the one Aaron used, which will help you draw any building you can imagine.
