How a career in architecture is the best?

• Architectures are creative

Architects are very creative people responsible for designing the building we see all around us every day. They imagine buildings and structures that take us by surprise. Gigantic Skyscrapers won’t exist without them. The iconic ‘Twin Towers’ which collapsed in 9/11 event was an excellent example of creativity and vision of architects.

• Architects design the world

Architects design both indoor and outdoor places. The structure can be anything from a small room to a very complex bridge. All the structures we see around us from a small shop to a multi-storey building was designed by an architect.

• Architects excel at everything

The construction plan is finalized after debating and agreeing on the design with the client. The design has drawings of the air-conditioning system, heating, and ventilating ducts and much more. These days computer-aided design (CAD) software are used for crafting designs and construction drawings. Hand-drawing skills are needed most in the early stages of a project.

• Architects are tough

A career in architecture demands a certain level of physical and mental toughness. Very sound communication skill is also important to easily convey your ideas to engineers, field workers and other involved personnel. As construction progresses, architects often visit the construction site to make sure everything is up to standard and rules are being followed.
