Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων – arkhitekton, from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder, carpenter, mason") is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.
"Architecture" can mean:
In relation to buildings, architecture has to do with the planning, designing and constructing form, space and ambience that reflect functional, technical, social, environmental, and aesthetic considerations. It requires the creative manipulation and coordination of material, technology, light and shadow. Architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimating and construction administration. As documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications, architecture defines the structure and/or behavior of a building or any other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.

The night begins the same way it always does, with you trying to decide
between the blue shirt or something a bit more casual. A million different
factors all contribute to the one...like which did I wear last time? Which
makes me look less scrawny? Which is gonna make her buckle at the hips
and beg me to take her body? But after the first few drinks, you know
that your gonna look grand in anything...
I hope she takes me home tonight...
I hope she takes me home tonight...
In the New York City subway to drown out the click and clack as the train
hits the track, you practice your lines.
But you know your no Al Pacino, and you worry shes going to see right
through you. So, just take it easy my old son. Lets just breathe and count
to 21. Just be yourself and talk of films and rockin',
cause in a couple of hours, its just gonna be the whiskey thats talkin'...
I hope she takes me home tonight...
I hope she takes me home tonight...
And all that might be why your feeling pretty confident as all your mates
tell you you look like some sauve movie star from the 1940's. And just as
you're about to say 'frankly my dears, I just don't give a damn' she enters
the room and the spotlight falls firmly upon her. The time is right for a
lucid day dream where you win the award for the best in show. But in this
dark, dingy dive as the lights begin to dim, you begin to question just
what it is that she really knows...
I hope she takes me home tonight
I hope she takes me home tonight
You've been talking for a while now and you start to believe that her eyes
are lingering on you for a micro-second more than they did last time. Her
shoulders are bare and you can't resist keepin your eyes off the way that
her hair tumbles down her back as she grabs another pint from the bar.
Upon her return, her left hand comes to rest against your right
and you think that maybe,
maybe,
just maybe,
things are gonna go
a little different
tonight...
I am feeling optimistic...
I am feeling optimistic...
I am feeling optimistic...
I hope she takes me home tonight...
