An architect is a person trained in the planning, design and oversight of the construction of buildings, and is licensed to practice architecture. To practice architecture means to offer or render services in connection with the design and construction of a building, or group of buildings and the space within the site surrounding the buildings, that have as their principal purpose human occupancy or use. Etymologically, architect derives from the Latin architectus, itself derived from the Greek arkhitekton (arkhi-, chief + tekton, builder), i.e. chief builder.

Professionally, an architect's decisions affect public safety, and thus an architect must undergo specialized training consisting of advanced education and a practicum (or internship) for practical experience to earn a license to practice architecture. The practical, technical, and academic requirements for becoming an architect vary by jurisdiction (see below).

The terms architect and architecture are also used in the disciplines of information technology (for example a software architect). In most of the world's jurisdictions, the professional and commercial uses of the term "architect", outside of the etymological variants noted, is legally protected.

A. Construction Engineers/Managers, Civil Engineers, Structural Engineers, some Mechanical Engineers and some Electrical Engineers work with architects. It really depends on what parts of the building you want to work with.

How much do architects really earn?
Q. I heard that although architects earn around 50k or 60k per year, they get big money on contracts (like 300k per contract) and they can do around 3 per year. (so that's like almost 1 million per year). is that right? If architects only get 50k per year, why are they seen at the same level as lawyers and doctors who earn much more?

A. Architectural firm fees' rule of thumb is $12-20/sf depending on the project and architect. It is not uncommon for contracts to be in the worth of over $1 million. However, you have to look at the overall contract, many of these contracts also include fees for outside consultants like structural, mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineering. For argument's sake, let's say consultant fees amount to 30% of the general fee, the firm must still pay for their staff. A project with a million dollar fee would require a team consisting of the firm's principal, lead project architect, project technical architect (specification, qc and construction administration), four drafters/job captains and office support staff (administrative).

Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and structures.

  • Dancing and architecture are the two primary and essential arts. The art of dancing stands at the source of all the arts that express themselves first in the human person. The art of building, or architecture, is the beginning of all the arts that lie outside the person; and in the end they unite.
  • Architects know that some kinds of design problems are more personal than others. One of the cleanest, most abstract design problems is designing bridges. There your job is largely a matter of spanning a given distance with the least material. The other end of the spectrum is designing chairs. Chair designers have to spend their time thinking about human butts.

  • A spider conducts operations that resemble those of a weaver, and a bee puts to shame many an architect in the construction of her cells. But what distinguishes the worst architect from the best of bees is this, that the architect raises his structure in imagination before he erects it in reality
