You just wasted the opportunity of becoming Spiderman4.

This is the same specie of spiders that stung Peter parker in the spiderman movie.

You shld have allowed the spiders to sting you jare.

veave:
Does she know the reasons why?

She has to know the reasons why. Plus she should also know she gets everything and more back when you start seeing improvements. Both academics, attitude and all. You can even tell her you hve someone watching her incase she wants to start misbehaving.

Good evening sir General, sorry am not a quack but a full time practicing Architect. Being a registered NIA, COREN and knowing one or two rules guiding the body doesn't stop one from pointing out constructively the mistakes of the other or these misfortunes will continue happening. Because am not supposed to state the wrongs of the other as stated in the ethics doesn't mean that I should fold my hands and watch another rubbish my sweat and pride. General, please note down these points up there and improve yourself without further disgrace to your profession other than coming here to tell me not to state my dislikes about your kind which is true. Work on yourselves man and save us all in the same industry from further aches. "THIS IS NAIJA" please what do you mean by this? I'm even more disappointed in you than you claim to be in me! So because this is Naija, quackery should not be condemned even when it comes from a COREN registered Engineer?( which some people cut corners to earn). Because it's Naija, there isn't room for improvement? Because it's Naija, we should continue spending on foreign Engineers to do our job? And because it's Naija, we shouldn't try to meet up with modern international standard? General, you sounded more like an artisan than a professional this time. What were you thinking saying what you just said. Every day I try so hard to improve on myself as far as my profession is concerned. If I should display my designs here, people like you will be the ones to tell me that even my windows an door are not workable. I know good civil engineers whom I consult just to broaden my knowledge (the ones I couldn't get from school) in structural engineering in order to incorporate it with my design to achieve a workable design because I build most of my designs. I browse up foreign projects, pick some ideas to meet up with modern day Architecture but still considering our climatic constraints (that's improvement). Please speak for yourself bro and stop defending the black sheep in your profession.

This is to counter this thread https://www.nairaland.com/3040875/very-important-mistakes-architects-make.
1. ACCEPTING THEIR LIMITATIONS
Architects are the real consultants and their duty is to bring together the building team in other to achieve optimum desired goal in any building project. Most Civil Engrs parade themselves as Architects, quantity surveyors, Electrical Engrs etc because they feel like it is their duty alone to handle every espect of the building construction.

2. POOR AND WRONG STRUCTURAL DETAILS AND CALCULATION SHEET
I've witnessed this in many cases and I don't know whether the cause is laziness or lack of the knowledge. Most of them depend on software like Orion and the rest to do the job instead of using AutoCad to exercise their ability. Will the Architect be blamed after the collapse of the building due to wrong and misleading structural details and specifications?
3. LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL KNOWLEDGE AND APPLICATION/ LACK OF CONFIDENCE.
Imagine when an Architect know better in terms of structural intergrity and construction methods. Most Architect design ground breaking edifice hoping that the so called Civil Engr will do justice to it, the next thing he'll hear is,"this is not achievable". Most Civil engineers are afraid to challenge themselves thereby resorting to denials and excuses not to handle a project beyond there technical/engineering capabilities. Some cannot extent a cantilever more than 900mm without applying a pillar. Any point of intersection of beams, a pillar is introduced. At the end of the day, pillar are seen everywhere. Some knows nothing about expansion joints even when it's clearly representated in the design. A whole lot of structural blunders are being commited by these Civil Engrs that one continues to wonder.
4. LIMITED KNOWLEDGE IN THE USE OF DIFFERENT STRUCTURAL MATERIALS (esp Steel)
Whenever you watch foreign football you'll notice the length at which they span the cantilever in their stadiums. Have you wondered why even at such span, it still carries a lot of spectators with ease. What type of material was used (even if you know), how was it constructed (most of our Civil Engrs do not know this and are not willing to know). Come to think of the little we do over here with rod, sand, stone and cement, some of these civil engineers cannot properly specify the correct mixture and proper reinforcement rather, they resort to guess work.
5. NOT WELL TRAVELLED
It pains me as an Architect whenever I get into an arguement with any of the Civil engineers in regards to the structural intergrity of some conceptual designs and the ones already constructed. Most Civil Engineers hate to see designs with concept. It beats their ability and it weakens their mind. I use this medium to urge our indeginous Civil Engrs to take their time and travel outside Nigeria. Go to Dubai, France, Italy, USA etc, go see for yourselves. Things you cannot do, go and see people doing it!

NOTE: I've worked with a lot of Civil Engrs and I can say that only few of them understand what is required of them and can relate to the above argument. The reasonable ones won't argue but will try to go back and improve on themselves.
Remember, no design from a qualified architect is unworkable, the problem is from the construction method.
FOR THE CLIENTS: Do not patronize roadside Architects, always sort the help of a qualified Architect no matter the price. Because YOU the clients thinks that you're smart, therefore ending up with regrets. Consult a qualified Civil Engr for your projects and stop cutting corners.

Nice thread, as a German Shepherd mama I must say they are one of the smartest breeds I've come across. But I'll say all dogs are good and unique in their own way and possess all these traits too. Any dog will do all these things as long as they have an owner that loves and cares for them.

Lordbinsmar:
i don't agree with you.i don't think a sensible architect will design a building that is not structurally stable unless the architect is not sensible enough,because the two main concept of architecture is Form and Function.to back up my point,you can watch the documentary of the seven star hotel in dubai.the structural engineer is only needed to help the architect make his dream come true.

Lordbinsmar:
don't mix things up.the work of an architect in building design is not all about aesthetics,its more about functionality and spatial relationship of the spaces in the building,which is the most difficult stage of building design.in any building project,the architect,not the engineer is always the head of the building team.any building project starts and ends with an architect.

egokudiowomoney:
it is wrong.the Op posted this in 2012 that is why he asked you to add 1012 but now that we are in 2016,just add 1016 instead of 1012...o ya try that
