Architect
Architect is
a job where people plan, design and oversee the construction of buildings. They
create an image of the building and how it should be laid out. A part of their
work is to consider the public safety so they consider things such as stability
of the building so that it won’t collapse from the inside or topple over. They
can work on individual buildings or on large redevelopment schemes, and can be
responsible for the design of the surrounding landscape and spaces.
In 1987 architects would have hand drawn the blue print
for the building with great care and precision because if there calculations
were wrong it could cause the building to collapse. They would of done all
calulations in their head and from their knowledge of physics. All measurements
would have had to be done by hand.
How ICT Affected Architects:
Now with technology they can create a 3D blueprint of a
buliding to create an all around view of the building to show a better idea of
what the building will look like. Using computers they can do all calculations
to work out the physics behind the construction and the use of technology makes
it much more accurate. Geometry software which can work lengths, angles, etc
which improves efficiency which reduces time taken to plan or design. The use
of ICT in general for architecture is useful as it improves the accuracy of the
calculations which is needed as just one small mathematical error can cause the
whole building design to fail. The use of ICT improves the speed of the whole
process as the blue print designs for the buildings are done much faster on
computer than by hand.
