My+definition

Architecture is an art and also a science. It is made to fulfill the basic needs for living, as well as to create nice atmosphere and environment by creating artistic surroundings. It starts from an artistic idea in your head; that’s why it’s an art, the art of designing a shelter, a center for needs, for the people; and is the science of the process of planning the construction to make that shelter in your mind possible. It takes all the elements that makes us human to do architecture.

Urban planning, goes hand in hand with architecture, both of them try to make a friendly living atmosphere for the people that live in. My understanding of urban planning is that it is made to determinate the dynamic of the city, town or place; it determinates how people will move, their needs, the atmosphere they’ll live in. It is made to make the life of the people that live there easier.
