Architecture
Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and structures. Some definitions include the wider design of the built environment, from the macro level of urban planning, urban design, and landscape architecture, to the micro level of creating furniture.[22] Architectural design usually must address feasibility and cost for the builder, as well as function and aesthetics for the user.[23]
In modern usage, architecture is the art and discipline of creating or inferring an implied or apparent plan for a complex object or system.[24] Some types of architecture manipulate space, volume, texture, light, shadow, or abstract elements, to achieve pleasing aesthetics.[25] Architectural works may be seen as cultural and political symbols or works of art. The role of architects, though changing, has been central to the design and implementation of pleasingly built environments in which people live.[26]

Ceramic art is art made from ceramic materials,[27] which may take forms such as pottery, tiles, figurines, sculptures, and tableware. While some ceramic products are considered fine art, others are considered decorative, industrial, or applied art objects. Ceramics may also be considered artefacts in archaeology. People design, manufacture, and decorate pottery in pottery or ceramic factories. Some pottery is regarded as art pottery.[28] In one-person pottery studios, ceramists or potters produce studio pottery. Ceramics exclude glass and mosaics made from glass tesserae.[29]
Conceptual art
Conceptual art is art where the concepts or ideas involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and material concerns.[30] The inception of the term in the 1960s referred to a strict and focused practice of idea-based art that defied traditional visual criteria associated with the visual arts in its presentation as text.[31] Through its association with the Young British Artists and the Turner Prize during the 1990s,[32] the popular usage of conceptual art, particularly in the United Kingdom, developed into a synonym for all contemporary art that does not practice the traditional skills of painting and sculpture.[33]
