The architect professional really began to develop as a distinct discipline during the Renaissance period. Until this time, the practice of architecture was not a recognized profession and the designer of buildings did not have a clearly defined place within the trades.

Architecture is both the process and product of planning, designing and construction. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

Architectural engineers routinely work on the creation of a variety of efficient designs and are, often, the first to work with emerging systems. These engineers are also typically a key part of these systems coming into fruition, including new architectural system methodologies.

When the Tacoma Narrows Bridge failed in 1940, it revolutionized architectural and structural engineering. A popular case study in engineering programs, the bridge is used to demonstrate the combined effects of wind, weight, and vibration on structures that lack sufficient strength, rigidity, and stability.

Architects must change with the times. In the 19th century, architect Thomas U. Walter’s love for Greek Revival evolved into a passion for Gothic Revival, demonstrated in structures such as the St. James Episcopal Church (Wilmington, NC) and Chapel of the Cross (Chapel Hill, NC).

Some of the systems architectural engineering services handle during building design and planning include telecommunications, lighting, drainage, elevators, fire alarm and fire protection, guttering, power distribution, and infrastructure. These services span various types of buildings and structures both domestically and internationally.

Accurately predicting building project costs is among the various tasks handled by architectural engineering specialists. These professionals also handle architectural blueprint or plan preparation, engineering design creation, construction management, and consultative service delivery, to name just a few.

Architects and engineers work closely together, but perform different roles. Traditional architects focus on a building’s interior and exterior appearance, layout, form, and function. Architectural engineers focus on the building core, blending structure and design to ensure the building is solid, strong, and effective.

There are several classic features of the Cape Cod architectural style. This includes a steep pitched roof, centered door with two symmetrical dormers and ground level windows, wide clapboard siding, and a chimney centered or at either end.

Have you been disappointed in all the available homes that you’re able to find on the market? When even the new construction homes don’t offer you the features you require, it may be time to consider having an architect design a custom home for you.

10/19/2017

Architects get much of their business through word of mouth. Ask family, friends and professional colleagues for referrals. Or if there is a particular home you admire, don’t be afraid to ask the homeowner who designed their place.

10/17/2017

Homeowners are more apt to hire a contractor than an architect for smaller jobs but it is important to realize that most contractors have absolutely zero training in design and that even a small job needs to be done well.
