Thanks Bro,

Good Evening everyone, how was the day?

Tonight I will be discussing about Architecture and Architectural Technology

As some of us who went to the Polytechnic already know, the course we studied is Architectural Technology while our counterparts in the University studied Architecture.... like that is the way it is in Nigeria....

This now got me thinking, what's the difference between Architecture and Architectural Technology ..

Without much ado, a simple Google search answered my question and satisfied my curiosity...

Architecture
Architecture is the art of building in which
human requirements and construction
materials are brought to bear in a practical
as well as aesthetic solution. Architecture is a
passion as well as a science and a business.

It has been described as a social art and also
an artful science.
Architects look at the big
picture and through Architecture they aim to
look at our environment and how this
impacts the society that we live in. It involves the design of buildings, cities and spaces, whilst taking account of culture, history and innovation to produce new architecture as a mark of our society.


What is Architectural Technology?
Architectural Technology focuses on the
technical and functional elements of design.

Architectural Technologists are experts in
function and buildability with the intention of
providing efficient and effective solutions to
the design and construction of buildings.

To achieve this in an increasingly complex
construction industry, the Technologist will
develop specialist skills in, for example,
project management, sustainable
technologies and building information
modelling.

The course also develops students key attributes, in developing motivation, engagement and transferrable skills so that the graduate is capable and desirable in a wide range of industries.


What are the different things that I will study in each course?
Although the structure of each course is
similar, Architectural Technology focuses on
the technical aspects and tools involved in
the construction of a building whilst
Architecture focuses on design and how this
fits within the boarder context of society.

Now, in Nigeria, are there any difference in what we learn in the Polytechnic studying Architectural Technology And what we learnt in the University studying Architecture

Bro?
No discrepancy whatsoever!
All (University/Polytechnic module) have to do with design/Construction which is the sole aim of the course.

Ok, but there should have been, since they are two different things

Following .................I will surely gain a lot here. I'm also an architecture student

21 Rules for a Successful Life in Architecture

Originally published by Entrepreneur
Architect, Associate Professor at Louisiana
Tech Kevin J Singh gives his 21-point rundown of how to have a successful and happy life as an architect.

The list gives some pointers that will certainly help young students and graduates, but may well be useful to some of the not-so-young practitioners who need to refocus on what's important.


1. Get Started on Your Career Path
You can start earning IDP hours right after
high school graduation.

If you haven’t already, sign up for IDP and
get started on the path to licensure!

2. Don't Get Caught Up in "Old Guard" Firms
The youth are the future.

Firms need to embrace the ideas, energy
and enthusiasm of young people.

Be observant as to what the Millennials in
the office are doing.

Make sure emerging professionals are
valued in the firms you are interviewing
with for full-time employment.

3. Networking = The Key to Advancement
Get to know everyone in the Architecture
community and allied fields (all ages and
experience levels).

Don’t underestimate the value of AIA membership and networking opportunities.

4. Don't Get Upset by Clients that Think They Know Everything About Architecture
Be patient.

Educate and show multiple options (divergent thought processes) to open up
thinking.

Be a professional.

Remember that you were educated as an
ARCHITECT (not him/her).

5. Don't Burn Bridges
The Architectural world is way too small.

Your actions and decisions will be
remembered.

6. Look Out for #1
It is your career and yours alone.

Make sure you are getting the appropriate
experience (IDP), opportunities and compensation.

If you aren’t, MOVE ON!!!

7. Voice Your Opinions
The best ideas are never incorporated into
projects unless they are heard, presented,
and defended.

Many processes in firms and details on
projects can be improved if you simply
point out a better solution to decision
makers.

An improvement is always appreciated by
principals and clients.


8. You Must Design Your Career and Position
All of us are Unique = Unique jobs/ positions.

Continually reflect on your experiences to
determine what you really want to do.

Make career decisions to attain this
position.

9. Differentiate Yourself
Develop your unique skills and abilities.

Demonstrate how they make you a better
employee and contributor.

Potentially utilize these skills to go out on
your own.

10. Don't Confuse an Internship with Full-
Time Employment
An internship introduces you to how a
firm and projects work.

Full-time employment mandates
responsibility for your work and
productivity (deadlines).

Full-time employment = STRESS!!!


11. Technology Will Lead the Way
You must stay at the forefront of
technology.

Volunteer to learn new software and lead
firm implementation.

Learn BIM and become proficient while in
school.

12. Sustainability is Your Calling and
Opportunity
If you endeavor to learn a lot about
sustainability while in school, you will be
able to share your knowledge with current
practitioners and become peers.

Take the sustainability lead within your
firm.

Become a LEED Green Associate while in
school.

13. You Need to be a Champion of
Sustainably Built Environments
You must educate EVERYONE about
sustainability.

Future clients will be the result.


14. Build Community Only 2% can afford the services of an Architect.
What are you doing to help the other 98%?

Get involved in your community.

15. Save the Profession
Architects aren’t compensated fairly
because the general public doesn’t value
(or know) what we do.

Teach-Share-Show-Demonstrate to others
how we improve the world.

16. Education Doesn't End in School
You must continually learn to stay at the
forefront of materials, systems and
technology.

Don’t let the world pass you by.

17. Mentor
Help teach the next generation.

A two-way street (look up, look back).

You will learn something in the process,
and be reminded why you joined this
profession.

18. Never Get Grumpy
Continually be inspired by the next
generation and harness their optimism
and energy.

Be a positive and optimistic employee.

19. Fix Something
The world is full of problems.

Choose one or two things, and fix them.

20. Complete the Task
You set out to become an Architect… so
take the A.R.E. and become one.

Keep your eyes on the prize!!!

21. Final Thought
The easiest building to design is a box, but
Architects don’t design boxes.

Architecture is about serving others
through the design of the built
environment. Make sure your work is the
best it can be through its service to others
and contribution to a more sustainably
built world.

I hope this list provides you with an
opportunity to think back to your time
finishing school and embarking on your
career. If you could go back and give advice
to your younger self, what would you say?
