hurumnanya:
As a civil engineering student I studied architecture two three semesters. That's enough background bro. Even as an architect that you are some design pass you by far, after all Nigerian designs are basically typical. What do you know about Architectural styles, it's history and evolution? What are the characteristics of the Art deco movement, what do you know about Cubism and it's characteristics? Do you know about The Falling Water House and how it influenced modern Architecture? Name 5 Architects of the modern era and the characteristics of their works. What do you know about Zaha Hadid and her works? 3 semesters is too little to aquire any passion or knowledge on Architecture.........even in Nigeria now. Some Architects out there are really stepping up their game and you need in-depth knowledge to keep up......im not talking about these razz, 1 dimensional Architects that litter the whole place. |

Sorry to burst your bubble, university didn't teach me what I know both as a civil engineer and an uncertified architect. They only gave me a cert. Knowledge is available for anyone who wish to have them. If you know what Udemy and Linda means then you know where I am going. So bro, I be architect and I be engineer, I wan join am electrical. Mind you architecture is part of civil engineering, its in Nigeria they split courses any how. |

Olarch: I'm saying this not because im architect..but Architecture is better simply because an architect will design and build wahalalessly but builder can never design nevereless you have just be given one of the best course i wonder the kind of school you went to. Anyways, as a builder, i also design because thats part of our course in the uni. @op, go on and study building, with the right mindset, determination and with God on your side, the sky is your starting point. Goodluck. |

kachoski007: Please carry on with building technology. There is no limit to what you can achieve. I studied the same course and am doing good as well. Just make sure you get a better grade from school and also attach it with professional courses like PMP HSE and maybe Facility management then you are good to go. Work for someone for just a while to gain first hand experience after which you can go ahead to setup your own. The architects will always need you to bring their dreams to reality.remember to always learn the practical aspects. Thanks boss I need ur contact pls |

@pafek I am not going to say much so it doesn’t seem like I’m bragging. I currently live and work in [b]Australia [/b]and we share a very similar system with the UK. I said I studied [b]Civil Engineering [/b]but didn’t say I practice as one.. I am currently working in a building construction firm as a project coordinator and only stating how is it being done here.
I never said Architects aren’t important but was trying to clarify that Architect DO NOT have the license to build…simple. They design, liaise with the client and follow up at different stages of the project but the ultimate power to construct lies on the building contractor because they have a better understanding of the overall building process from A-Z ranging from Earthworks, masonry, concreting, roofing in addition to the local governmental council requirements, managing material, labour and equipments in additions to ensuring work health and safety alongside the HSE officer/personnel.
This is how a typical building process(commercial/high rise residential) works here for your understanding:
1. The client/owner meets with a Project management firm and states what they want.
2. An Architectural firm either in house or external is consulted to design according to the clients vision/needs.
3. The design is reviewed and then passed on to the engineering consultants for design and analysis. Architects design so many fancy stuffs to impress the client but engineers do the necessary structural analysis using the appropriate building standards to ensure the Architects design is structurally fit and flag the impossible designs that aren’t structurally possible(if any). Other tests/investigations such as geotechnical & environmental will also be carried out and the results will also be used for the analysis (especially for the foundation design).
4. If the design is approved and necessary documentations (specifications, geotechnical reports, environmental council approvals etc. ) have been done, its then stamped by the registered engineer and passed back to the client who then invites interested/selected building contractors to tender (to ensure its free and fair unlike the naija way).
5. Tenders are reviewed and the contract is awarded to the contractor with the best tender after necessary negotiations and meetings.
6. After the Construction work has started…the Architect and the design engineers only visits site from time to time to inspect and ensure there are no discrepancies but the Builder/construction project manager working for the contractor is the main guy that runs the site all through the construction phase.
That is how it is done here.
Cheers

Architecture is just a wonderful area of human activity that is worth studying. At one time, I chose the profession of a mathematician, so I realized the value of building construction techniques over the years. It's incredible to me how much can be said about the shape of the facade, the size of the doors, and so on. Just imagine that just two thousand years ago, people lived in some clay houses, but they are already building office space in center city philadelphia. Moreover, using modern construction technologies. In general, those who want to enter the Faculty of Architecture do not hesitate! |
