Career Info
Architecture is the design discipline that
defines living, working, or
recreational spaces and buildings to satisfy human needs.
Architects utilize knowledge of culture, psychology, and environment
to define human needs, then they integrate
materials, structures,
and form to meet those needs.
They may develop scale models, sketches, drawings, or computer media
representations of their design ideas. They also work with engineers
and contractors throughout construction of their designs to ensure
that clients' needs are met.
Architects may be individual designers in private practice, part of
a corporate group, city planners, environmental systems designers,
or part of organizations that develop commercial, institutional, or
residential projects.
Architects may also design furniture and lighting, or transportation
and sports facilities, as well as become architectural historians,
teachers, advisors, or consultants.
Graduates of the program also work in other venues such as graphic
design or computer animation, or are employed by government and
urban planning agencies.
National and
international firms for positions such as those
previously mentioned regularly recruit Washington State University
graduates.
