Throughout the planning stage, they must make necessary changes. Traditionally, architects have done their drawings by hand. They visit building sites to check that plans are followed. They may help clients select building sites. Some supervise construction projects.
Architects design a wide variety of buildings.
These may include offices, apartments, schools, churches, factories, hospitals, houses, and airport terminals. They also design complexes that have more than one building. These complexes may be urban centers, college and business campuses, industrial parks, and entire communities. They may do long term planning for land development. Architects sometimes specialize in one type of building or in one phase of work.
