Architecture and Engineering, bring important things to the table, and makes the whole much more than the sum of its parts. Are you more of an Engineer or an Architect or are you both? How much time are you allowed to spend “thinking” rather than “doing”? If you were given the space to think more, would you be better at your job? How many Architects does it take to change a light bulb?

Architects can become better designers. By understanding the physicality of construction. The closer architects get to engineering, the better they will design. Taking time to break down the building science can clarify many theoretical concepts in architecture. I can't stress enough the value of engineering knowledge for architects. Architects should put some effort into learning basic engineering. Engineering is the backbone of architecture. Diving into complex math can save tons of time in the design process. And make architects better designers overall.

Foundations of Architectural Success Dear fellow architects 🏰, Before diving into drawings and software, prioritize understanding the architecture, engineering, and construction system. Master the intricacies of consultant roles, the significance of contractors, and the vast scope of client interactions. Unlock the keys to success by grasping the holistic system of the architecture industry. 🌐 #ArchitecturalInsights #IndustryKnowhow #ArchitectSuccess ✨

Along with A.I. as a tool, the infrastructure needed to support this (mainly data centers), requires mechanical and electrical engineering design expertise due to irregularly large electrical and heat loads.

The engineer's role is to make the architect's vision possible. Often, engineers are overlooked when a project launches, but they play a pivotal part in a building's structural integrity. Today, we celebrate the engineers who bring architectural dreams to life. #construction #constructionindustry #engineering #architecture

Dive into the latest engineering and architecture trends with our new "MEP Minute" video series! We sat down with our President Nathan Hammond, P.E. to talk about the latest and greatest in the world of engineering and architecture. #HammondEngineering #TeamHammond #GAEngineers #FLAEngineers

Hijacking of the “Architect” title by other fields is a problem. People with 2 architecture degrees and years of experience can’t legally call themselves an “Architect” unless they’re licensed. Meanwhile other fields use the term like a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae. It devalues and confuses the real architecture industry and profession. What’s the solution here?

One of the *problems* we’re trying to solve at Smortr :) If you’re in the architecture, interior design or construction business we’d love to talk!

While #modularbuildings require meticulous planning and may frontload the work, they have many long-term benefits beyond saving time and money. Check out Part3's latest #blog to discover why #architects should consider #modularconstruction, all the #design elements you need to consider, and excellent examples by WZMH Architects.
