Who do architects collaborate with?
Throughout the design process, architects work with technical consultants who are brought in on the project to work through the interior systems, like electrical wiring, HVAC, plumbing, etc. These are separate from the builders whose teams construct the final project using detailed instructions from the architect.
Do architects work in teams?
The goal of an architect should always be to support a team and goes beyond solving the problem: They must work together closely with the team, understand the context, and communicate with empathy so that a handover doesn't involve trouble or hard feelings.
What is the purpose of an architect?
Architects create designs for new construction projects, alterations and redevelopments. They use their specialist construction knowledge and high-level drawing skills to design buildings that are functional, safe, sustainable and aesthetically pleasing.
