He or she must understand people. She or he must have a talent for creative design and have skill in math and science. And he or she must be able to graphically communicate ideas and designs.
- An architect’s job is to design a new building or structure. An architect thinks about what will make the building strong, safe, and easy to use, and also what will make it look nice. Architects put their ideas in a drawing or plan called a “blueprint” for builders to follow.
- The practice of an architect, where architecture means to offer or render professional services in connection with the design and construction of a building, or group of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings, that have as their principle purpose human occupancy or use.

- Improves lifestyle by providing comfortable space.
- Affects how they interact with the interior environments on a daily basis.
- Affects how people move through spaces.
Responsibilities of Architects
- Influence decision makers on technology investment-current & future.
- Strategic input into the technology roadmaps of the organization-shape, form and stabilize.
- Ensure that governance mechanism such as review boards, principles etc. are maintained and supported.
- Design both the physical and logical components of solution architectures that will deliver a positive business outcomes.
- Delivering technical designs and standards and the associated approvals from the formal governance channels.
Job Responsibilities of an Architect
- Organizing structure specifications
- Estimating budget and time
- Creating drawings and plans
- Presenting plans to clients
- Developing contracts
Introduction of Engineering
- Civil engineering is the oldest engineering.
- Designs and monitors all phases of a construction and or rehabilitation.
- Study the characteristics of materials, soil, wind incidence and destination of construction.
- Civil engineering deals with the design, construction, and, maintenance of structures or public works as they are related to earth, water or in space.
- civil engineering is broad field of engineering, which deals with the planning, construction and maintenance of structures or public works as they are related earth, water or in space.
Importance of Engineers
- it helps in proper management of material, labour and equipments.
- It helps in preparing construction schedule. Schedule is a systematic path of different activities carried out one after another.
- It gives guidelines regarding the execution of construction work to be carried out.
Responsibilities of Engineers
- ensure the safety and well-being of the public.
- Ensure that society’s funds and resources concerning technology are well used.
- Refusing to work on a particular project or for a particular company.
- Individual and organizational concern about the impact of engineering projects on society.
Job Responsibilities of an Engineer
- Testing building materials
- Following regulations and considering possible project hazards
- Performing surveying operations
- Supervising maintenance of infrastructures
- Using design programs for projects
Difference between Architects & Civil Engineers
Civil engineers work on a variety of different projects that include planning, building, and maintaining roads, buildings, bridges, and water systems, while architects work primarily with houses, factories, and similar structures. Civil engineers and architects do, however, work together on some projects. They both visit construction sites to ensure work is being completed correctly and in the given time frame. Civil engineers and architects both estimate costs and create plans based on the projected budget. While civil engineers decide on the materials used to ensure a safe structure, architects highlight the design aspect of the project.
