A house provides shelter from the weather, wild animals and enemies. But people around the world create houses that are more than just shelters. Houses are places where people gather. Where they find comfort and keep belongings. Where they express themselves. That's when shelter becomes architecture. And the people who design houses become architects. What is a house to you? Can you design a house that meets your needs—and expresses yourself? Try it here!
