Architect - one of the oldest and most sought-after professions


Spiers, villas, cottages one hand
                                                        
Perhaps, in every city among the monuments there are original compositions, causing interest surprises with its pomp, elegance and formal rigor. And do not find a man who would not obey the vaulting arches, bridges, ancient fragments of the tower and, of course, the dome, which is credited with magical properties. The beauty and functionality of the architecture - it is not only the aesthetics but also the security of a comfortable lifestyle.

Perhaps it is the desire to recreate a particular architectural ensemble in miniature, or inspired by, to come up with something of their own, formed the basis of the trends of a country cottage construction. In recent years it has become considerably stronger. And this, as you know, is another area of ​​activity, the new "front" work for architects.

In addition to the demand for professional designers, in the capital increases the demand for designers. Therefore, often the architects of single and design workshops take orders - is also part of the job. And if before the cost of author's design development for the average purse was very heavy, but now the situation has changed. The potential of design in the capital market is about 6-7 thousand. Customers per year.

Designer and architect - a profession different, but similar and compatible. Therefore, in the context of these activities are used in a "key".
On the methods and forms

Earning the degree of creative realization, conditions and working conditions directly depend on the architect's preferences - the structure and forms of work. For each option - its pros and cons. The labor market does not restrict applicants, each chooses for himself, so characteristic of the present organizationalpossibilities of cooperation. First of all, focus on singles, creators, artists call themselves free. They are committed to, and almost all his time give work independently "bloating" of orders. Mainly engaged in single projects mansions, small objects of social infrastructure, interior design. As a rule, in a format orders are carried out in a more loyal timing.

"Lone Wolf" in demand in the labor market, have their own customer base, but to work alone is not safe. Freelancers not protected legally. Contracts with customers are made without compliance with all formalities, or are not prepared at all. Defend the interests of performers orders to no one. For the normalization of relations with the customer, the architects combine the free team (SAT), hiring lawyers to defend their rights. Another prerequisite for consolidation - the inability to cope with the orders themselves. Cooperation within the framework of the Security Council reflects the interests of all parties, but rarely long-term.

Another possibility of combining talents, aimed at improving the efficiency and systematization of work - the creation of a specialized studio. Such cooperation makes it possible to save on rent and office equipment, as well as accounting and small office staff. Each architect works "by itself": looking for customers to choose projects, holding meetings, and orders, which can not cope, offering colleagues. Stable head in such associations do not have - the architects are equal in their functions.

Next form - workshop. It is more formalized, it may be a fragment of the former Design Institute, or - neoplasm. Search, contacts with customers - only through the head of the studio. This applies to the entire operation, in Vol. H. And the distribution of financial flows. May cooperate with adjacent bodies such as construction or design. Organizational and legal counterpart - the "Company", "JSC".

Above the studio in the organizational hierarchy - Civil Design Institute. This form is aimed at a much larger number of orders and more serious projects. Manages PI architect and substituents, the main production unit - workshop (as a unit). The organization includes the adjacent structures, thus can overpower the entire design cycle. Such a closed system is more "bureaucratic", but greatly facilitates the "life" of the customer, because it involves negotiation. Architects themselves admit that in the state institutions, as well as in gosmasterskih, wages are significantly lower projects are slower, but the work can be called stable.

Similar in structure and function of industrial design institutes.
stumbling blocks

Proudly called architects in Ukraine, want to continue to many, this specialty is widely popular. But due to problems with land acquisition and the lack of a clear mechanism for its sale, many investors from near and far abroad after two-, three-year development abandon projects. This is a very "hits" on the local architects who were engaged in designing, preparing presentation materials, working on justifications. The same set of issues may include periodic disruptions of public order financing. And in some large cities of Ukraine to this day no modern master plans, which greatly hinders development and prevents the implementation of many projects.

In general, according to experts, the field of activity in the domestic architects wide. They are now in the price. In addition, the bulk of the orders accounted for the local private companies.
to the position requirements

Among the main requirements for the architects to include the following:

 VO (architect);
 knowledge of Excel software, Word, AutoCAD, ArhiCAD;
 OR two years;
 knowledge of regulatory documents and approvals processes;
 communication skills;
 diplomacy;
 mobility;
 energy.

In addition, for high-quality work to the architect must have the legal, economic, regulatory and managerial training. Have knowledge in these areas in full, of course, not necessarily enough industry courses and knowledge acquired in practice, as well as relevant legal documents that can be accessed when needed.
Epilogue

So, an architect - not only the creator but also a "techie" and programmer, and "lawyer". People who have become this creative way, the dream to build palaces, but in reality, plan to houses and shops. Students of architectural faculties and institutes say: "One talent for the future of the architect is not enough, you must also hard work," the ability to put themselves on the glue "(to sit at night on the drawings)!" Inspiration - the constant creativity satellite, but a true master, as we know, must be able to work without inspiration.
