Arcdavid: Thank you for the offer, I already have my plans drawn and it fits my families needs perfectly. The next melee is finding an artisan builder that can then take this produced interpretation and turn it into a reality. I appreciate your offer. In regards to calling architects artisan, we'll agree to disagree on that. My position is unwavering. Though I will say that not all Architects are Artisans but I am only interested in relating to Architects that have taken the field beyond architecture and into artisanship. You should spend some time to read the linked websites that I included if time permits. Fortunately where I live, only Pharmacists are allowed to sell medicine. Not sure about Nigeria. Thanks. PS: What I did was purchase a plan on eBay by a renowned Architect - not world renowned but known enough that he pushes the envelope which is a great fit for me. Of course this plan was designed for a specific plot and topography, but it's the design that I've always wanted. Its' artistic, different and offer me an opportunity to have a structure that I'll be proud in. I then downloaded and learnt SketchUp so that I can demo the changes that I want to a Nigerian Artisan Architect who will be responsible for drawing it according to the codes in Nigeria. In the meantime I hired someone from Fiverr.Com to build it for me in 3D so that I can walk through it and changes based on visualization. So as you can see I am a very detail oriented client who knows exactly what he needs. It's my house and I'm going to be living in it, not the artisan architect. This is why I searched for such person. Again, I thank you for your generous offer. |

A fool at your age is obviously a fool forever and you prove the saying right. Grammar still intensely incorrect despite the fact that you live abroad. You are a big disgrace to America and appalling to Nigerians, who have been trying to correct your mental dilapidation to no avail on this thread. Gross Idiot. 1 Like |

No need getting worked up over an individual's opinion on who is an artisan, architect or bricklayer.. Egunmogaji might come off as an arrogant preek, in the end his opinion takes nothing away from anyone's years of education and practice to become an artisan/architect. So lets be civil instead of the unnecessary ego tantrums ![]() 4 Likes |

EgunMogaji: Artistic flair is one of the core principles of any professional architect.. Anyway, How much were you quoted for the design?? |
Re: Architects Fees, How Much Did You Pay? by Nobody: 11:03pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
Venom104: You're right about artistic flair, but you won;t believe how many still drew roman pillars and ensuite bedrooms after having told them I don't want them. My Architect and I have a relationship based on future work - I would ask that you approach him direct for a quote. He treated me very fairly. I will tell you this much I stand behind his work 110% and he has the patience of a saint. Based on the title of my thread I know this makes me hypocritical by not telling my cost, but no worries I can wear that and many more titles ![]() I can see that you guys are done brow beating Brabus but I didn't get a meeting invite that it's my turn this week to get a royal Nairaland beat down ![]() |

Architects are completely diferent draftmen, Architects gives you the best design that suit your area and as a professional with 7yrs training university, he find out what exactly your aim is. is it lease, sales or personal, consider your location and the configuration of your land etc to determine the final design and he provide functionally appealling and aesthetic design, u can get a better value for your building. A draftman can give u cheap design with poor fuctionality that reduce the value of your house because he is not aprofessional. Generally u spend millions to complete a good house so why not work with a better design that makes your building unique. From my experience as an Architect I have re design so many buildings even at construction stage where the functionality is so bad and the client now blame himself for using a draftman initially. There are lot of diferences, paying 40k or more to save a projects that will gulp millions is better and reasonable to avoid penny wise pound foolish. To know more contact Arc Lanre 08035848491.

[quote author=EgunMogaji post=36546002] I'm calling an architect an artisan, you can continue to disagree. My rate is not what's in question and this is a non sequitur. This is a serious conversation and I do not wish for this to delve into the more common Nairaland tit for tat debacle. The intent of the thread is specific, have you paid an architect lately, if so how much? This is not a bash on architects. It also matters less to me what your profession is.[/quote This is why people get defrauded by artisans and cry foul. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

EgunMogaji: EgunMogaji: Architects to me are artisans. No attempt to deflect your lack of inadequate reasoning or self centered and bloated ego can shift my usage of that word. If the shoe doesn't fit, then don't wear it. Real accomplished Architects/Designers/Draughtsmen knows who they are and they don't get into an hypnotic fit because of some shyte title. Stop trying to make yourself relevant, you're simply not. The 3D service that you are offering on here and that I showcased as being available on Fiverr.Com for ordinary $5 is why you're here to lash out ![]() #GetAGrip "Those who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by others doing it."

Defining Artisan Architecture What is Artisan Architecture? Besides the name of this Web site we submit for your consideration and comment that…. Artisan Architecture is the product of an approach to design and construction. It is based on particular presuppositions. This is an attempt to codify them. The root principals create a distinctive architecture one that celebrates the art and craft of building. It is created by artisan architects; artisan builders, craftsmen and manufacturers of superior products. We advance that artisan architects and artisan builders tend to adhere to the following principals. Building is an art and a craft requiring skill and talent not a technological expression of precision of mechanics. Artisan buildings are part of a historic continuum not a singular expression of an artist or of technologies. Artisan Architecture requires skill talent and commitment to a singular vision and the participants in the process of design and construction subordinate their own personal vision to that of the whole. Artisan Architecture is created when the whole becomes greater than the sum of it’s parts. The parts include but are not limited too the skills of the craftsmen/ builders, contributing artisans, materials & technologies; industry products used, and the intentions of the creators; this includes those who commissioned the work of architecture. Building is a social and community expression that should reflect the values, goals and ideals of the greater community it is part of. Artisan Architecture is in a context and subordinates itself to that context to participate in it not dominate it. This includes cultural, environmental, and social determinants. Artisan Architecture is a team achievement not an individualistic expression of any singular artist or contributor in the process. The best of Artisan Architecture transcends mere fashion,fad or the vagaries of historic “styles” and creates a singular timeless expression of the art and craft of architecture. A premier artist architect Frank Lloyd Wright said ” I do not design in style I design with style”. Artisan architects and builders imbue traditional, non traditional and recognizable architectural styles with something uniquely their own no matter what the “style” of the work. Artisan Architecture is a personal expression of craftsmanship, skill and artistry subordinated to the values, goals and ideals of the whole particularly of the patron who commissioned it. http://artisanarchitecture.com/about/ 1 Like

Artisan Architecture is nothing but a mere terminology used by its creators. Ideas are only limited to what you think and feel is possible and willingly to grasp. We all read, but how we understand is what matters to be able to inform the public.
