Do you know what Architectures do?

i wanted to found out more information about what an architecture does, so i did some investigating on the internet and found out quite a lot of info on the subject.

An architect will design and build spaces of the future, as well as restoring and conserving old buildings. An architect’s work can involve planning the layout of groups of buildings and the spaces around them.
Architecture is the art, the science and the business of building.

Architects create homes, office towers, schools and churches. They are talented people with a flair for design, an awareness of social trends, keen business sense, solid engineering skills and an understanding of the law.

When producing a design, architects take into account all of their client’s requirements and a range of other issues including:
budget
safety
social factors
building regulations
planning laws
Once a design is agreed, architects will produce a further set of detailed drawings for the building contractor. These will contain precise dimensions and specified materials - with these they liaise closely with contractors. Engineers, surveyors, lawyers and planning departments regularly inspect the construction work to assess progress.

Architects will take responsibility for a building project from the earliest stage through to completion. On larger jobs a team of architects may work together to achieve this.
