Architecture
Construction
noun, verbal noun
When it comes to building and constructing, the thing that encompasses both of them is architecture.
建築 refers to the design and construction of buildings. Occasionally it can also refer to a physical building itself, but for that it's more common to use 建築物.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. If you know the readings of your kanji you'll know how to read this as well.
