Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Architects, like artists in other visual media, use the elements of design (such as line, shape, form, texture, color) and the organizing principles (such as balance, rhythm, proportion, harmony) to create their work. However, architects often work in teams and must consider practical concerns such as budget, safety, and building codes, so they do not rely exclusively on their own vision and ideas. They control the process of design and creation to some extent but must also collaborate with clients, engineers, contractors, and other professionals. Therefore, choices A and B are not completely accurate.
