What does an architect do?
There are different types of architects, but generall theydesign and sometimes supervise the construction of buildings orother large structures. Salaries would vary depending …location,size of building, etc. .
An architect is a person who plans, designs, and sometimesoversees the construction of a building. You need College preparatory courses, need to take physics,elective courses, mechanical drawings, computer science. The following the typical process on a new commercial project: 1: Space Programming: the architect sits with the owner, developerand/or users of the new building to develop the best possible spacelayout, adjacencies, and goals of the project. 2: schematic design: The architect translates the owners wants andneeds into a rough building design. Beginning with gestural modelsand drawings which helps the architect develop the language of thebuilding and ending with mass studies and ultimately some sort of3d model representing the building and style. This presented alongwith a rough, non detailed space layout will generally conclude theschematic design phase after many revisions. 3: Design Development: The owner agrees to the design and thearchitect begins to run with it. Ordering a site survey, perhapssome soils testing the architect now has enough information tolayout a site design, foundation & structure(may subcontract astructural engineer), mechanical and electrical(may subcontract aMech/Elec engineer), wall sections, building elevations, partitiontypes, door and window schedules, code research, material choices,etc... In essence this is the point where most of the decisionsabout what the building actual is, gets decided. 4: Construction Documents: This phase takes the bulk of the time(40%-60%) and is where the architect and interns create thecontract documents. these consist of detailed drawings showingevery possible detail as it relates the the building, from howwalls are made, how door jambs are to be constructed, how theexterior cladding is to be connected tot he structure, how thebuilding is to be water proofed and insulated, roofing details,etc.. This is also the point where we write the specifications forthe project, which is generally a thick 400 page book with detailedinformation on each and every product and installation in theproject as well as general terms and conditions that the contractormust follow. 5:Bidding and Negotiation: This is the point where we hand off theconstruction documents to the owner and assist in getting andreceiving bids, answering questions from the bidding contractorsand subcontractors, issuing addenda and clarifications andultimately helping the owner to choose the right contractor for thejob. 6: Construction Administration: This is the construction part ofthe project where we act as the contract authority and force bothparties (owner and contractor) to meet the contract requirements.This means checking show drawings and issuing supplemental drawingsto help the contractor install and build things properly and to thespecifications. This is one of the most important stages, becausethis is where the quality will either be great or terrible,depending on the accuracy of the previously made specifications anddetails and the quality of the contractor.
What is an architect?
An architect is a person that designs floor plans for a building. Architect is someone who generates diagrams to be used in makingsomething such as buildings. Architecture i…s a design of a house or building or any type ofstructure. It can be designed by either a computer or a person. Itis the process of designing and constructing, and the uses ofmaterials, technology, textures, light, and shadow. Architecture isa passion, as well as a science and business. It comes under theart category as it involves the highest quality design. Any type ofstructure cannot be possible without any type of architecture. TheGreeks invented architecture in the early BC. It was quite simplestuff, but was still relevant and important. The main things Greeksdesigned were temples for their gods, though nowadays ourstructures are either houses or department buildings.

What do you do when you are a architect?
When you are an architect, you design buildings, whether it's the interior such as floorplans, or the exterior such a varieties of brick, stone, or vinyl. There are many types… of architects. You may help potential clients by blueprinting them a house in which they can live in. Some architects design stores such as Walmart, Foodion, or even a mall or shopping center.
What do you do when you are an architect?
There is a very detailed indepth explanation below for those that want to know EXACTLY what an architect responsibilities are. For those that want just an 'idea' of what he/sh…e does: Primarily an Architect designs buildings -turns his concepts and visions (along with what the client requires) into a realworld structure using firstly his imagination, then sketchings, then developing that idea further and refining the details with clients input and scrutiny along the the way. All of this must be done while working within Code Requirements, Accessiblitiy Requirements, local Zoning Requirements and sometimes oversite from a Review Board. For A LOT more detail read on, and also find out about the other duties an architect is responsible for. Answer People need places in which to live, work, play, learn, worship, meet, govern, shop, and eat. These places may be private or public; indoors or out; rooms, buildings, or complexes, and architects design them. Architects are licensed professionals trained in the art and science of building design who develop the concepts for structures and turn those concepts into images and plans. Architects create the overall aesthetic and look of buildings and other structures, but the design of a building involves far more than its appearance. Buildings also must be functional, safe, and economical and must suit the needs of the people who use them. Architects consider all these factors when they design buildings and other structures. Architects may be involved in all phases of a construction project, from the initial discussion with the client through the entire construction process. Their duties require specific skills-designing, engineering, managing, supervising, and communicating with clients and builders. Architects spend a great deal of time explaining their ideas to clients, construction contractors, and others. Successful architects must be able to communicate their unique vision persuasively. The architect and client discuss the objectives, requirements, and budget of a project. In some cases, architects provide various predesign services: conducting feasibility and environmental impact studies, selecting a site, preparing cost analysis and land-use studies, or specifying the requirements the design must meet. For example, they may determine space requirements by researching the numbers and types of potential users of a building. The architect then prepares drawings and a report presenting ideas for the client to review. After discussing and agreeing on the initial proposal, architects develop final construction plans that show the building's appearance and details for its construction. Accompanying these plans are drawings of the structural system; air-conditioning, heating, and ventilating systems; electrical systems; communications systems; plumbing; and, possibly, site and landscape plans. The plans also specify the building materials and, in some cases, the interior furnishings. In developing designs, architects follow building codes, zoning laws, fire regulations, and other ordinances, such as those requiring easy access by people who are disabled. Computer-aided design and drafting (CADD) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology has replaced traditional paper and pencil as the most common method for creating design and construction drawings. Continual revision of plans on the basis of client needs and budget constraints is often necessary. Architects may also assist clients in obtaining construction bids, selecting contractors, and negotiating construction contracts. As construction proceeds, they may visit building sites to make sure that contractors follow the design, adhere to the schedule, use the specified materials, and meet work quality standards. The job is not complete until all construction is finished, required tests are conducted, and construction costs are paid. Sometimes, architects also provide postconstruction services, such as facilities management. They advise on energy efficiency measures, evaluate how well the building design adapts to the needs of occupants, and make necessary improvements. Often working with engineers, urban planners, interior designers, landscape architects, and other professionals, architects in fact spend a great deal of their time coordinating information from, and the work of, other professionals engaged in the same project. They design a wide variety of buildings, such as office and apartment buildings, schools, churches, factories, hospitals, houses, and airport terminals. They also design complexes such as urban centers, college campuses, industrial parks, and entire communities. Architects sometimes specialize in one phase of work. Some specialize in the design of one type of building-for example, hospitals, schools, or housing. Others focus on planning and predesign services or construction management and do minimal design work. Work environment. Usually working in a comfortable environment, architects spend most of their time in offices consulting with clients, developing reports and drawings, and working with other architects and engineers. However, they often visit construction sites to review the progress of projects. Although most architects work approximately 40 hours per week, they often have to work nights and weekends to meet deadlines.

What you have to do to be an architect?
I am an architect in the United States. To become an architect in the US you need to have an architecture degree from an accredited university. Typically this means a 5 year d…egree or in some cases a 6 year degree. Another route that is emerging is to have an undergraduate degree in another field, and then attend a 3 year graduate program in architecture (also from an accredited university). After graduation, you need to complete a minimum number of hours working under the supervision of an architect or some very similar setting. Typically it takes about three to five years for most intern architects to satisfy all of these hour training requirements. The reason it takes longer for many people is because the training hours you need are broken down into categories - and younger interns may not have much opportunity to get experience in some of these areas. In addition to the degree and the training hours, you also need to pass seven different license exams. Currently, each exam is $210 and passing rates range from 60% to 80%. The tests cover concepts on Structural Systems and Structural Forces, Mechanical Systems, Electrical Systems, Plumbing, Contracts, Drawings and Specifications, Site Design and related issues such as drainage and contours and urban design, detailed characteristics on various materials such as concrete, masonry, steel, wood, glass, gypsum board, paints, tiles, roofing, etc - and the various construction techniques that are used to make these into a functional building, codes and regulations, and more. It is a very lengthy road and the people who finish it all are usually pretty bright and have always been fairly good students, or they are very devoted and driven. Usually both. Also, it is common for smart young college students to embark on a career in architecture with a very romantic idea of what it is like to be an architect - then realize over the years (very gradually) that the nature of being an architect is something completely different that is perceived initially to be less desirable. Thus, many architects are also flexible people that can adapt to new situations. I would also say that a good quality for an architect to have (or develop over time) is the ability to focus pretty hard on what might seem like very obscure narrow topics. For example, in the workplace it may be that at least once a week you will have to research where or not a window system complies to a certain lab testing standard, or how to waterproof some strange geometrical condition tucked away in a hidden corner of a roof. If you are considering a career in architecture, I would recommend that you try to interview a few local architects, architecture students, and architecture faculty. Often times, architects possess a very high work ethic and level of intelligence and focus that would enable them to succeed at many different advanced professions that are much more lucrative than architecture. Thus, you need to try and find out to the best of your ability if it is right for you from the beginning.
