Architecture (Latin architectura, from Greek ἀρχιτέκτων arkhitekton "architect", from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder") is both the process and the product of planning, designing and constructing buildings and physical structures. Architectural history studies how architecture has evolved over the centuries and in many different landscapes and cultures. Classical architecture begins in ancient Mesopotamia, followed by Egyptian architecture and the Greek civilizations.
