My dear friends!
A Civil Engineer is not an Architect.
A Structural Engineer is not an Architect.
A Builder is not an Architect.
A Contractor is not an Architect.
An INTERIOR DESIGNER is not an Architect.
A Draftsman is not an Architect.
A person who supplies material for interior designing is not an Architect.
A Carpenter is not an Architect.
A Product Designer is not an Architect.
A Graphic Designer is not an Architect.
An Artist is not an Architect.
A person who does Aari work and Embroidery work is not an Architect.
A person who makes silk thread bangles is not an Architect.
A Tailor is not an Architect.
A Fashion Designer is not an Architect.
A Beautician is not an Architect.
An Architecture Student is not an Architect.
• A person who has dedicated 5 years of time in undergraduation in a registered Architecture college with 1 or 2 practical trainings(6 months or 1 year),
• A person who has got an approval to practice Architecture with a unique COA number from the Council of Architecture constituted by the Government of Pakistan under the provisions of the Architects Act,1983
• A person who has the authority to use green ink,
• A person who takes up the responsibility to enhance the lifestyle of a society through designing shelters that are sustainable,
• A person who can think about the homeless population and who can come up with affordable housing solutions,
• A person who takes up the responsibility to go to PRISON if the building fails,
is an “ARCHITECT”
So my dear friends, next time when you meet an Architect, don't end up telling,
"Hey, I know a girl next door who has good talent in making crafts.She is a very good Architect!"
OR
"I am an Interior Design Architect"(lol,such thing doesn't exist)
OR
"I want my daughter to pursue Architecture-because this is a career for women-you make plans sitting at home and can earn in crores-very helpful to take care of your newborn child"(2 mins silence for these people)
These statements show that you are as great as one of our CMs who came up with a gem statement, "Civil Engineers should go to CIVIL services.
Remember, Architecture is a professional course.It demands a lot from you.
P.S. I am not saying the above mentioned professions are any lesser than being an Architect.We all coexist.
Confession of "THE" Architect.
