Architects, Except Landscape and Naval
Architects (except landscape and naval) are involved in designing
buildings and structures that are safe, functional, and aesthetically
pleasing. They typically work with clients to determine their needs and
preferences, and then create designs that meet those requirements.
Architects also often oversee the construction process to ensure that
their designs are being followed correctly and/or to adjust designs and
deal with issues that may arise during construction. People in these
careers support the geosciences by utilizing knowledge about local
environmental factors such as:
-
climate and weather patterns,
-
underlying geology (bedrock and soil),
-
potential natural hazards (e.g., flooding, earthquakes, landslides,
and others).
