What is an architecture..
What is an architecture..
Definition: An architect is a licensed professional who organizes space. Architects design houses, office buildings, skyscrapers, landscapes, and even entire cities.
How does one become a professional home designer?
Answer: If you dream of designing houses and other small buildings, but don't want to spend the years it takes to become a registered architect, then you may want to explore career opportunities in the field of Building Design. A Professional Building Designer, or Home Designer, specializes in designing light-frame buildings such as single family homes and agricultural buildings. A Professional Building Designer may also design decorative facades for larger buildings.
Unlike architects, Professional Building Designers are not legally required to pass exams or receive special licenses. However, a designer who carries the title "Certified Professional Building Designer" or "CPBD" has completed training courses, built a portfolio, and passed a difficult exam.
What can I do with a major in architecture?
Answer: Architecture is more than designing buildings. Students who study architecture in college may choose to go into many different careers. Here's just a sampling:
• Architectural Journalist
• Architectural Historian
• Corporate Architect
• Draftsperson
• Building Researcher
• Building Inspector
