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.
For example, some may work mainly in construction management. They do little design work. They work with engineers, urban planners, landscape architects, interior designers, and others. This training period gives them work experience while they prepare for the Architect Registration Examination. Duties may include making construction drawings on CAD systems.
