Architects design and create the built and aesthetic environments where people work and live.
Architecture education prepares professionals to guide builders and planners through the entire site selection, design technical drawings, and construction processes. Architects help determine appropriate features to meet the client's need, ethical, cost, natural resources and environmental considerations. Architects also manage the project, thus requiring a strong sense of values, leadership and team facilitation. They can design furniture and lighting, transportation and sports facilities, or accessible features for persons with handicaps. They also can become architecture historians, teachers, or advisers and consultants, among a plethora of other job options.
