7 Reasons Why You Should Study Architecture by SavageGarden(m): 4:20pm On Mar 05, 2015
"Architecture" Which is the art and science of designing
buildings and other physical structures.
Architecture is about the making of places where
people spend their lives. Architects are not just
concerned with the exterior and interior design of a
buildings, but the environment as a whole.
Architecture is mostly about human beings living in a“better” way then before. There is an important question that needs to be
asked.
Why study Architecture in the first place?

What are the merits of choosing Architecture as a
career over other professions?

And what could be
the compromises and trade-offs an Architecture
student might have to make to achieve success?

Here are the 7 reasons that could convince
anyone to take up Architecture as a profession…

1. An Architect is a sort of an inventor. Like an
inventor who goes about making and designing new
gadgets, you go around designing new buildings.
Architecture is a very satisfying profession You’ll get
a tremendous sense of delight after your concepts on
paper transform into real buildings. You’ll know the
joy of creation in this field of Architecture…

2. A course in Architecture is a lot of fun. Unlike
traditional colleges where you must slog yourself in
study halls and libraries, reading and writing all the
time, a course in Architecture gives you the liberty to
use the right side of your brain, the creative part. You
get a lot of opportunities to showcase your creativity
and ingenuity while designing structures.

3. Architecture is a very high paying field. Once you
get through the course and pass out with good
grades, you’d be pursued by large firms looking for
fresh talent and new ideas. And compared to most
other fields, Architects make a lot more money.

4. It is easy to define Architecture but the word has
far deeper meaning than it implies. While you study
Architecture, you get to study various fields of
human endeavor, including Art, History, Material
Science, Physics, Engineering… anything and
everything that can help improve the living
environment of human beings. It is the most diverse
subject you can find. And yet, this field attracts the
most creative and romantic minds in the world.

5. The work of an Architect one of the most
challenging and enjoyable imaginable. Every
building is different. Every project is different. There
is absolutely no monotony in life. The thrill and the
challenge of work is exhilarating to say the least.

6. If you’re the kind of guy (or gal) who likes to work
with his (or her) hands, then Architecture is the right
profession for you. In Architecture study course, you
get to work with your hands. Its not just about
reading and writing all the time, but you must have a
hands-on approach on many assignments. Building
scale models, making surveys, talking to people… its
a very active field.

7. Architecture may sound like a 9 to 5 office job, but
its not. Its a lot more than that. Even as a student of
Architecture, you get to work on real-life problems
of designing functional buildings. If you like to hit the
road every now and then, you’re in for some luck. In
this profession, you get to travel a lot. You have to
put your feet on the ground, and visit construction
sites.
