Abstract

An architect is more of a practitioner than an artist. Practical considerations must be considered before beauty and appearance, as the architect must understand the engineering aspects including ventilation, lighting, foundations, and other functional requirements as well as the artistic qualities of a project. Mr. Baker shows the preliminary plans for a small hospital to be built on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. After completing the designs, the architect supervises the construction of the building. A young architect should be able to draw and visualize in 3-D, must have a working knowledge of engineering, and attention to detail. After 5-6 years of college there is a 3-year apprenticeship, then a full week of exams to become certified.
