"Architecture often is described as the art of sheltering. To consider it as such, we must use the term sheltering very broadly. Obviously, types of architecture exist within which people do not dwell and under which they cannot escape the rain. Architecture encompasses more than buildings. So, we can consider architecture as the art of sheltering people both physically and spiritually from the raw elements of the unaltered world."

This is a quote from the book "Perceiving the Arts: An Introduction to the Humanities" by Dennis J. Sporre.
