Architect designers also known as Design Architects create plans and gather design requirements for new structures. They may also have to design alterations or repairs to existing buildings and structures. Their role is to focus on the style and look of the project while adhering to all building requirements and codes. They would be designing homes, offices, university buildings and healthcare centers. Job duties of an architect designer include marketing, consulting with clients for new and existing projects, estimating project costs, designing structures and preparing scaled drawings. They might also direct other workers, visit worksites and manage contracts. Some of the major challenges would be: 1) The technological advancement in the field which make the architects outdated. So they might need to work hard in keeping themselves updated. 2) In recent days, specialisations are becoming important and essential. So, one needs to have more knowledge and experience in the field for succeeding. 3) The restrictions in creating beautiful objects in order to satisfy the client needs make the architects lose their creativity sometimes.
