What is the overall life style of an architect?

Hi Juan,

Architects are responsible for the spaces’ designs, while drafters specialize in the technical specifications and meticulously rendering the spaces. Some of the structures and spaces architects design include:

Offices
Homes
Apartment buildings
Schools
Spiritual or religious spaces
Parks and recreational areas
Urban centers
Airport terminals
Malls and restaurants
College campuses

Architects and drafters must consider several factors before construction can begin. They conduct thorough meetings with their clients to determine the building’s most important functions and requirements. The structures designed by architects should also be safe and as economical as possible. Architects and drafters work together to translate a client’s needs and imaginations into physical structures.

Important skills an architect will need during the design and construction process are:

Design expertise
Engineering knowledge
Management and supervisory techniques
Excellent communication skills to explain ideas to clients and builders

To create buildings’ drafts and plans, today’s architects and drafters primarily use Computer-aided Design and Drafting (CADD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, rather than paper designs that are created by hand. Computerized designing is often more efficient and adaptable than traditional drawings. Changes and improvements can be made quickly and easily.
