Hi I´m Annia and I´m a student of architecture in Venezuela. I completly agree with you when you said that architecture is art and science at the same time, because if it was only one, it wouldn´t be architecture, it would be pure art or engineering. But I have to desagree about urban planning being more ancient than architecture; I believe, like you said, that architecture began when man needed shelter and he looked for it, but I think that precisely, after that, when he started to congregate in tribes and form larger populations was when urban planning was born, as a consequence of the need to organize and mantain an order in his society. Finally, you are totally right about architects being creative people, it´s part of the package. But I strongly believe that every one has creativity somewhere within themselves, just that it´s meant to be developed in different areas, so don´t feel bad, you just have to find your own.
