Architecture vs Civil Engineering

Architecture vs Civil Engineering 

Architecture   

Architecture is the art and science  for practice of designing and constructing of any buildings. Architecture engineering is a  part of engineering which deals with the technological aspects and multi-disciplinary approach to planning, designing, construction and operation of buildings, such as analysis and integrated design of environmental factors.

Civil Engineering 

On the other hand civil engineering is also a part of engineering which deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including public works such as roads, bridges, canals, dams, airports, sewage systems, pipelines, structural components of buildings, and railways.

  Architect and civil engineer both are playing an important role in the construction of the buildings. Architect and civil engineer is needed for different purposes. 

An architect can not fulfill a civil engineer purpose nor a civil engineer can do that for an architect. So, we can say both are like left and right hand.
