I am currently studying architecture but I’m not really sure about it. I do like houses and making things look nice but idk. Everybody tells me that architects have no vacations, that they work 10-16 hours a day, and that it’s insanely time consuming. All those things really put me off because that’s not the life i want. Can someone with some experience tell me how the job really is? and is it worth it?

Landscape Architects - A Great Career Option
Filed Under Gardening | Comments Off
Peter Finch asked:
Landscape architecture involves the planning, design, management, preservation and rehabilitation of the land and constructions. To put it simply, the people who perform all the above duties are called landscape architects.
Nature of Work
The design of landscapes involves multiple disciplines like mathematics, science, engineering, art, technology, social sciences, politics, history and philosophy. Landscape architects are responsible for various duties like creating public parks, planning corporate offices, planning highways and bridges, creating forests, tourist and historic landscapes, management and reclamation of the degraded landscapes like mines etc. Their job involves all minor and major tasks. They are the brains behind the various types of construction. They are also responsible for supervising the contracts of construction work and preparing applications for capital or revenue funding grants.
Landscape architects often work with different architects, surveyors and engineers to determine the best plans for roads and buildings. They are also required to work with environmental scientists, foresters and other professionals to find various methods of conserving the natural resources. Once the conclusions are drawn, the landscape architects create a new plan including the new topography, vegetation, walkways, decorative features etc.
They spend most of their time in offices in preparing models, designs, plans and cost estimates. The rest of their time is spent either attending meetings with clients or at the site. However, undoubtedly they need to be creatively inclined.
Requirements
The major requirement is that they need to be nature lovers. People who have no interest in enjoying the beauty of nature may not do well as landscape architects. Needless to say, they must have strong analytical skills, a creative vision and artistic talent. Good communication and presentation skills are a must. They must also possess excellent writing skills and an articulate way of expressing their thoughts. The knowledge of CAD software is also essential.
Some prefer to take up some residential work while others stick to individual homeowners. Residential design projects do not provide huge incomes like those of commercial or multiunit residential projects. They may either be self employed or employed by government agencies or landscape architectural firms. Those employed by government or architectural firms work for fixed timings while self-employed work as per the demands.
Qualifications
- The main requirement for entry-level jobs as a landscape architect is a bachelors degree or a masters degree in landscape architecture. A bachelors degree takes around 4 to 5 years for completion. There are two types of masters degrees. One is a 3-year professional program designed for people with an undergraduate degree in other discipline. The other is a 2 year program for students having completed undergraduate degrees in landscape architecture. Some employers prefer applicants who have completed their internship.
- There is a growing demand for landscape architects for integrating natural elements into manmade constructions. Most are employed in urban and sub-urban areas. Few are employed in rural areas. When they gain sufficient experience become construction supervisors, land or environmental planners, project managers and landscape consultants.

Construction has always been important role to increase or decrease the value of the property ever since human civilization happen. It is construction that defines the buildings and also proves to be the trigger for its purchase or sale. In the modern times, to deal with construction field there are various sectors that have emerged to form this industry. One of the most important among them would be Real Estate and Infrastructure, Manufacturers and Builder, Architects and Interior Decorator. Architects are a professional that specialize in the field are called as Architecture, dealing with the technical knowledge and management skills. The most important segment is to understand the related fields function of an Architect, as architect one closely works with various field that are;
Real Estate Development
Corporate Facility Planning
Construction Management
Interior Designing
Interiors and
Project management
Among all Real Estate lends a majority of work to this sector. The basic aim of the Real Estate sector is to deal with property which involves purchasing, disposing or customizing the property, however in order to perform any of these function the Real Estate alone is not a qualifier, architects here would bargain their share of importance when compared to various other related field which are involved in the process of construction. Architects define property by structuring them into castles, villas, flats, floor or just a wasteland. Architecture as sector has evolved it associates with various related field like, Architect Design, Architect Engineering, Architect Technology and among others. With this overview about Architects, they can be defined as, “people who are involved in planning and designing buildings and participants to supervise construction of the building”, therefore relating Architects to the field of Engineering would not be wrong. Understanding the criticality of Architects in the field today we have courses that certify architects in the field. These courses start from diploma to degree as per the interest of an individual.
The importance of architectures can be realized with the reorganization of architects not only with the Indian Real Estate Awards but also with the National Awards. The latest real estate events like Real India Fest 2009 also recognize the work of Architects in the field and therefore facilitate this sector by dedicating them with a different category of awards. This award recognizing their work not only in their field but also in the fields related to them. To conclude one can say that with the increase growth in the Real Estate and Infrastructure there would be an opportunity for the related fields to grow. Architects serve to be the backbone which brings them an opportunity of not only showcasing their talent but also enhancing their work. We could look at some of the key players today in the market. They are;
Architect Hafeez Contractor
Archkons

Prominent Architects in Phoenix
Filed Under Real Estate | Comments Off
Wayne Hemrick asked:
Working with outstanding Phoenix real estate agents is one of the best ways to find the perfect Phoenix homes that will best meet you and your family’s needs. Once a Phoenix realtor understands the type of property you wish to purchase, he or she will apply that criteria when searching Phoenix AZ real estate until the best Phoenix real estate listings are found, thus saving you time and money. As you begin settling in, you will have ample opportunities to explore this beautiful city. Phoenix is home to several prominent architects whose talent is on display in remarkable buildings in Phoenix that they have designed.
Phoenix-based Gould Evans Associates, LC + Wendell Burnett Architects were honored with the 2007 American Institute Honor Awards for Architecture for their design of the Palo Verde Library/Maryvale Community Center owned by the City of Phoenix. The connection of the mind and body was used as a design theme that features two equally sized “volumes,” which are lit at the bottom and top, so you can see the activity going on inside from the outside. The library is housed in one side, and the gymnasium in the other. Care was taken to incorporate “green” building products, including floor tile made from recycled tires and cork, while walls were made from oriented strand board made from recycled wood. Formaldehyde-free insulation was also used.
The award-winning Phoenix architectural firm of richard + bauer Architecture was the design organization that created the Meinel Optical Science Research Building for the University of Arizona in Tuscon. Principals James Richard, Kelly Bauer, and Stephen Kennedy’s building features a concrete wall that is covered with red-bronze copper treatment to relate in tone to bricks used on the campus. To give the feeling of a darkroom, openings allow light into the building, and the light plays off the rooms within. For their work on this important building, richard + bauer Architecture were also awarded the 2007 American Institute of Architects Honor Award.
There still occasionally come on the Phoenix market vintage homes designed by Ralph Haver. Haver was a prominent Phoenix architect in the 1950s who made his mark in contemporary-styled single-family homes. His designs often feature window walls, clerestories, beam ceilings, carports rather than garages and a low pitch to the front facing gable roof style.
Probably the most famous architect in American history has his foundation in Scottsdale, and that is Frank Lloyd Wright. Known for organic architecture that allows the building to fit into the context that the land itself provides, Taliesin West in Scottsdale is where Wright had his home, his studio, and was the site of his architectural school. Archives of Wright’s work are housed at the Foundation as well.
So many amazing architects have been, and continue to be, inspired by what Phoenix and the surrounding countryside has to offer. Their buildings and homes reflect that splendor.
