The following short summary presents the profession of architects and gives a broad overview of the profession. If you had the intention to orient yourself towards this profession, you are in the right place. In the next few paragraphs, you will learn more about the main lines of architecture. It is about an employment which is close to my heart since it is about the profession of my two parents, but also, the one that I would like to practice in the not so distant future.
Architecture is a very special profession. It not only makes it possible to earn a living, but also to leave its mark on future generations. It allows you to explore several aspects of life while having access to a high level of creativity.
The job of an architect consists of drawing plans for new buildings or renovating older ones. It is therefore mainly to the architects that we owe the recognition of all the buildings that can be found around the globe.
The day of an architect varies from day to day, but still remains very similar. The outlines of an architect's day are as follows. The first step is to get to work since they mostly work in offices. They must attend meetings to keep the team aspect with his other colleagues, they must be in constant communication with his clients by email or by phone in order to fully understand the requests related to the project. Otherwise, an architect must work on the building plans he is designing in order to meet deadlines. Finally, he must from time to time visit the site to ensure those plans are respected by the constructors.
Architects mainly work in offices, but sometimes they have to travel to construction sites.
To practice the profession of architect, it is necessary to have completed university studies such as doctors and lawyers. These are complex studies. In other words, you must have completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree in architecture from a university program.
The salary of an architect varies enormously depending on the position you occupy in the companies, but the average salary of architects is around $80,000.
Architects must take training every year. These are compulsory training courses given by the Order of Architects.
The profession of architect does not present any danger in particular, apart from going to construction sites where the risk of injury is higher.
The chances of architects being replaced by robots are very slim. Although robots are more precise in their calculations, they do not have the human side that the architect must have such as the creativity and understanding of the client.
Architects retire around the age of 60. Of course, this is specific to each one as some decide to take it earlier and others a little later.
In conclusion, the profession of architects is very beautiful. It not only allows the architect to develop his creativity and imagination, but it also allows him to create important social bonds. It allows you to develop your team spirit and listening skills. In short, it is a very attractive profession that gives me the taste to explore it more.
