Welcome to Architecture
The built environment is part of our lives, shelters our activities and the historic, built environment supports our sense of identity. As defined by the Heritage Act, 1995 [PDF 96KB], 'architectural heritage' includes all structures, buildings, traditional and designed, and groups of buildings including street-scapes and urban vistas, which are of historical, archaeological, artistic, engineering, scientific, social or technical interest.
