WHY ARCHITECTURE?
Architects plan and design houses, factories, office buildings, and other structures. Architects spend much of their time in offices, where they develop plans, meet with clients, and consult with engineers and other architects. They also visit construction sites to prepare initial drawings and review the progress of projects to ensure that clients’ objectives are met. Demand for architects with a knowledge of “green design,” also called sustainable design, is expected to continue. Architects are needed to design buildings and structures that efficiently use resources, such as energy and water conservation; reduce waste and pollution; and apply environmentally-friendly design, specifications, and materials. Employment of architects is projected to grow 4 percent from 2016 to 2026, slower than the average for all occupations.
