Today i attended a career talk, and the guys in charged (from taylor or sunway cant recall) said that taking English Literature actually helps in landing a job on the architecture field. izit really that necessary?

is there actually much difference between ADP and the one offered in Taylor (not sure which)? from what my counselor told me ADP is only 4 years while the latter 1 is 6 years. She also said the syllabus are identical but a 2 years gap?

QUOTE(azarimy @ Mar 27 2008, 06:05 AM) i still dont get u. u're comparing which ADP with which course? sorry sorry if u're talking in general, american architecture courses are very different and not widely accepted in malaysia. a close colleague of mine, a Phd already with an associate professor title, had to take the LAM part 1 and 2 exams bcoz his archtiecture degree from university of miami (one of the prestigious architecture schools in the UK) is not recognized in malaysia. my point is, they are VERY different. i had to wait for a friend of mine to confirm. its ADP and Melbourne Degree Programme. do u know anything about them? |

ok, so after i graduate, i'm a part 2 architect, another 2 years of work experience i'm into part 3 already?
Added on March 29, 2008, 6:21 pmfrom the chart there isnt part 3. so i assume everyone automatically upgrades to part 3 after 2 years? This post has been edited by aprisis: Mar 29 2008, 06:21 PM |

if for example a building collapses or something similar, will the architect in charge of it be found responsible? from what i heard even if there's flaw in the design the architects will be exempted.

QUOTE(Benjamin911 @ Mar 30 2008, 07:57 PM) Usually, the Civil Engineer & the Structurer Engineer are the ones responsible for any structurer failures in the building. entire construction team? does that include architects? or they're in the designer team?If the building collapses, expect the entire construction team to be responsible. (In the future, when I am the Architect, I will never want such thing to happen to my building.) |

when architects design a building, must it be detailed? or will a simple sketching with angles, scale, etc do? i mean, must the blueprint consists of everything like, "will the building withstand the wind force..etc"?

now i'm in some deep shit. my father doesn't agree with my choice of taking up architecture. he keeps pressing that i'd be working like a contractor if i do. and he prefers me taking business related courses instead = =

QUOTE(azarimy @ Apr 16 2008, 07:30 PM) well, u should tell him that architects and contractors are two different profession, requiring two different qualifications. to become a contractor, u need a degree/diploma in building construction or construction management. architects do learn about those, but not as deep or specialized. so even if u hold an architecture degree, u should leave expert builders to do the construction. we architects are simply less qualified than they are. architects can work pass the retirement age izit true? |
