Interior design is the art and science of enhancing the interior of a living space to achieve a healthier and more aesthetically pleasing environment for those using it.

Architectural design is the art and science of detailing balance and symmetry to achieve a well-designed living space. The facade of every building needs some semblance of balance and symmetry in order to appear aesthetically pleasing and properly constructed.

Landscape design is the art and science, practiced by landscape designers, that harmonizes nature and culture. In contemporary practice, landscape design bridges the space between landscape architecture and garden design.

Urban design is the art and science of designing and shaping physical features of cities, towns and villages and planning for provision of municipal services to residents and visitors. In contrast to architecture, which focuses on the design of individual buildings, urban design deals with a larger scale of groups of buildings, streets and public spaces, whole neighborhoods, districts, and/or entire cities, with the goal of making urban areas functional, attractive, and sustainable.
