ARCHITECTURE AND ARCHITECT
Architecture as a career is fascinating and focuses on designing, planning, and building different establishments with reference to a suitable site and the environment with the help of technologies that are necessary for architecture. An architect works on public and private projects and also designs both indoor and outdoor infrastructure. Architects can be hired to design anything from a single room to a complete architectural marvel.
Architecture is the study of learning the art and science of designing a physical structure be it buildings, communities, skyscrapers, artificial constructions, etc. This work includes both ideation and designing of a structure and extends to monitoring the actual construction.
A good architect can visualize well the final structure from the blueprint. Great passion and imagination added with the theoretical planning bring out the robust plans and buildings.
As Julia Morgan, a famous architect once said, “Architecture is a visual art and the buildings speak for themselves” it is indeed true even today. Architecture as a career option is emerging as the most wanted profession since it will help to develop sustainably enabling humans to coexist with nature.
