What IB subjects do you need to become a Architect?

In high school, a good solid math background is a good idea: algebra, trig, calculus and physics. If your school offers a mechanical drawing course, this may be of interest. Also, take as many computer courses as you can. In college, you will have more math and physics plus courses instructural analysis, mechanical and electrical equipment, materials and methods of construction, environmental and sustainability analysis, architecture history and social context, plus business practice and management. Draw a lot to train your eye and spatial perception. Design studio knits all of this together into buildings. If the buildings are also beautiful - as they should be - they are called architecture. Including undergraduate studies, a typical architecture program directed toward a professional degree involves 5 to 6 years at a university, for a bachelor or master degree, respectively; PhD ... longer. Following graduation with a bachelors or masters degree in architecture, an internship of 3 years in a qualified architecture office is required, followed by successful passing of a state licensing exam to become licensed and registered as an architect. Only licensed and registered architects can use the title "architect" and practice architecture.

How does a lever make work easier?

It technically does not make work easier, you really do the same work. But if you meant force applied, you do apply a smaller force. Since you may apply the force further from the fulcrum (point of rotation) than the load is therefore the force required to lift the load is smaller. This is true because of torques which is force X distance from fulcrum, therefore to apply the same torque if you increase distance your force subsequently decreases.

Returning to the comment that work is constant, since you are applying a force further from the fulcrum, the distance you have to push is further; therefore, due to Work = Force X Distance, you still do the same work since even though your force decreased, distance had increased.

**********************

Although the lever does not change the work, it **does** make the work easier. You are more concerned with the force that you have to apply than with the mechanical work input and output, so you are expending less energy by applying less force. I think this is what you mean by "easier". If simple machines did not make life "easier", we would never have bothered to invent them!

Why are some apartment buildings call arms?

The best answer that I have heard relates to the "coat of arms" that are often used to signify a family etc in medieval times. Since many people in those days were illiterate a hotel, pub, boarding house, etc would display a picture i.e. "coat of arms" to identify itself rather than have a name on a sign. That establishment would then become know as the _____ Arms. This trend then carried over to lodging establishments in the US but over time the picture aspect became unnecessary however the word "Arms" stuck.

Hope this helps!

What are the mediums in architecture?

Mediums of Architecture

· Wood-Is the common building material today. Its advantages are its abundance, relative durability and high tensile and compression strength. However, it is easily destroyed by moisture, insects, and fire.

· Stone- is the material used in most of the great architecture of the world where permanence is desired.

· Concrete is a building material made of sand and gravel mixed with ceme3nt. Like stone, it has high compressive strength. It doesn't easily crumble or break down when subjected to heavy weight. It does not corrode and is fire resistant. For stronger structure, Ferro-concrete or reinforced concrete is used. It is concrete reinforced with steel.

· Steel- it is still demand today. It is a tough alloy of iron in variable amounts. It is malleable under proper conditions and greatly hardened by sudden cooling. It has tensile strength. The used of structural steel makes it possible for the architect to build many of the present day structures without worrying about the problem of space and the weight of the other materials. It has also made possible the building of the high-rise structures which are very popular these days.9

What is the largest man made structure in the world?

In terms of volume and length it is the Great Wall of China (just over 5000 Km). In area, it is the low lying area of the Netherlands that have been reclaimed from the Sea (which means that the usable land is technically "man made"). By height, it is currently the Burj Dubai. In extension (length) it would be the internet.

What is American architecture?

Why are drawing coordinates important?

Coordinates are important as they define the start and end points of a line, thus allowing a distance and direction to be known. Coordinates can either be based off a global coordinate system such as the UTM mapping projection, our as is more common in architectural projects, a local coordinate system, where a point on our near your site serves as an origin (0,0,0) or some other arbitrary number.

What is sculpture and architecture?

Sculpture can probably be defined many ways, but in order for something to be considered architecture - it has to be habitable. To say something is habitable typically means it can be maintained at a comfortable temperature and humidity, provide lighting levels needed, can withstand the forces of nature without collapsing (to a reasonable extent), and many other issues.

A building can be described as sculptural, but sculpture isn't architecture.

What do you have to have in order to be an architect?

At least two subjects at A level or one A and two AS levels, at least five GCSEs which include English Language, Mathematics and a double award at science, or a separate science such as Physics or Chemistry.
There are three main steps in becoming an architect. First is the attainment of a professional degree in architecture. Second is work experience through an internship, and third is licensure through the passing of the Architect Registration Exam. Education and training. In most States, the professional degree in architecture must be from one of the 114 schools of architecture that have degree programs accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. However, State architectural registration boards set their own standards, so graduation from a non-accredited program may meet the educational requirement for licensing in a few States. Three types of professional degrees in architecture are available: a 5-year bachelor's degree, which is most common and is intended for students with no previous architectural training; a 2-year master's degree for students with an undergraduate degree in architecture or a related area; and a 3- or 4-year master's degree for students with a degree in another discipline. The choice of degree depends on preference and educational background. Prospective architecture students should consider the options before committing to a program. For example, although the 5-year bachelor of architecture offers the fastest route to the professional degree, courses are specialized, and if the student does not complete the program, transferring to a program in another discipline may be difficult. A typical program includes courses in architectural history and theory, building design with an emphasis on CADD, structures, technology, construction methods, professional practice, math, physical sciences, and liberal arts. Central to most architectural programs is the design studio, where students apply the skills and concepts learned in the classroom, creating drawings and three-dimensional models of their designs. Many schools of architecture also offer postprofessional degrees for those who already have a bachelor's or master's degree in architecture or other areas. Although graduate education beyond the professional degree is not required for practicing architects, it may be required for research, teaching, and certain specialties. All State architectural registration boards require architecture graduates to complete a training period-usually at least 3 years-before they may sit for the licensing exam. Every State, with the exception of Arizona, has adopted the training standards established by the Intern Development Program, a branch of the American Institute of Architects and the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). These standards stipulate broad training under the supervision of a licensed architect. Most new graduates complete their training period by working as interns at architectural firms. Some States allow a portion of the training to occur in the offices of related professionals, such as engineers or general contractors. Architecture students who complete internships while still in school can count some of that time toward the 3-year training period. Interns in architectural firms may assist in the design of one part of a project, help prepare architectural documents or drawings, build models, or prepare construction drawings on CADD. Interns also may research building codes and materials or write specifications for building materials, installation criteria, the quality of finishes, and other, related details. Licensure. All States and the District of Columbia require individuals to be licensed (registered) before they may call themselves architects and contract to provide architectural services. During the time between graduation and becoming licensed, architecture school graduates generally work in the field under the supervision of a licensed architect who takes legal responsibility for all work. Licensing requirements include a professional degree in architecture, a period of practical training or internship, and a passing score on all divisions of the Architect Registration Examination. The examination is broken into nine divisions consisting of either multiple choice or graphical questions. The eligibility period for completion of all divisions of the exam varies by State. Most States also require some form of continuing education to maintain a license, and many others are expected to adopt mandatory continuing education. Requirements vary by State but usually involve the completion of a certain number of credits annually or biennially through workshops, formal university classes, conferences, self-study courses, or other sources. Other qualifications. Architects must be able to communicate their ideas visually to their clients. Artistic and drawing ability is helpful, but not essential, to such communication. More important are a visual orientation and the ability to understand spatial relationships. Other important qualities for anyone interested in becoming an architect are creativity and the ability to work independently and as part of a team. Computer skills are also required for writing specifications, for 2- and 3- dimensional drafting using CADD programs, and for financial management. Certification and advancement.A growing number of architects voluntarily seek certification by the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards. Certification is awarded after independent verification of the candidate's educational transcripts, employment record, and professional references. Certification can make it easier to become licensed across States. In fact, it is the primary requirement for reciprocity of licensing among State Boards that are NCARB members. In 2007, approximately one-third of all licensed architects had this certification. After becoming licensed and gaining experience, architects take on increasingly responsible duties, eventually managing entire projects. In large firms, architects may advance to supervisory or managerial positions. Some architects become partners in established firms, while others set up their own practices. Some graduates with degrees in architecture also enter related fields, such as graphic, interior, or industrial design; urban planning; real estate development; civil engineering; and construction management.

Minimum size for master bathroom?

Depends on your personal taste! Things to consider... Bathrooms and kitchens sell houses. You probably spend more awake time in the bathroom than you do in the bedroom. A big bathroom with tall ceilings can be drafty and cold in the winter. Unheated tile floors can suck the heat out of bare feet. It's much more functional to have the master closets tied to the bath than the bedroom.

The modern overall trend is to build smaller quality built homes. The trend in master bedrooms is to build them smaller with large master closets and well appointed master baths. I like baths broken into areas that have the bath area (shower/ tub) separate from the dressing make-up area (sink, desk) Also include a toilet/ bidet room and a linen closet. Also have at least one full length window that has nothing in front of it. The natural lighting from a full length window will amaze you.

With all this said. Cut the size of the bedroom and focus on the well appointed feng shui inspired "spa" for the master bath with a huge closet.
