About:

Architects plan and design houses, factories, office buildings, and other structures. They work on public or private projects and design both indoor and outdoor spaces. Architects discuss with clients the objectives, requirements, and budget of projects. They develop final construction plans, prepare initial drawings, and visit construction sites to ensure clients' objectives are met. Architects spend most time in offices developing plans and meeting with clients, with regular site visits during construction. They must understand building codes, structural systems, and sustainable design principles.

TRAINING:
Bachelor's degree in architecture from accredited program, internship experience, and passing licensing examination
