• Architects use their design flair, personal creativity and practical knowledge of structures to develop concepts, plans, specifications and drawings for building and other structures. They liaise with construction staff, planning authorities, and manage building contracts and inspect work.
• Architects deal mainly with the shape and texture of the exterior surfaces of a building, and how humans use that enclosed space, they leave the concerns about structural considerations to the civil engineer.
• Architecture is the art and science of designing buildings and other physical structures. “ Built environment “ is a term often used in conjunction with architecture.
  
  

• Architects are professionally trained to manage the process, planning, designing and constructing space reflecting functional, social  and aesthetic considerations. It requires the control and management of material, technology, light, and shade.
