http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/role-of-architect 2/31
Duties of architect
People need places in which to live, work, play,
learn, worship, meet, govern, shop, and eat.
These places may be private or public; indoors
or out; rooms, buildings, or complexes, and
architects design them.
Architects are licensed professionals trained in
the art and science of building design who
develop the concepts for structures and turn
those concepts into images and plans.

Architects create the overall aesthetic and
look of buildings and other structures, but
the design of a building involves far more
than its appearance.
Buildings also must be functional, safe, and
economical and must suit the needs of the
people who use them.
Architects consider all these factors when
they design buildings and other structures.
