Career Bound
I have always been interested in fixing things and trying to make things look better; even as a kid helping my dad in construction projects was so fun. It was my father who passed the trade down to me and the ease to try to work around certain problems. I might not always have made the proper choices within the field but found myself very interested in the work. Yes, I probably did not want to get out of bed to work in carpentry or painting some days but I really enjoy restoring, bringing structures back to life, and even building new ones from scratch. I of course have not built a house just by myself or have all the knowledge and experience required in doing so, but I have worked in many of the different stages of building homes and different fields of labor within the process and I love it.
I am very hands in the field but I hope to one day be able to direct and just use my brain and ideas for it, I guess that is my American Dream; to become a very good and well known architect and home builder. I would love to render my services as a professional designer and planner of new homes, reconstructions, over sighting and coordinating my team of builders! I really would enjoy that reputation, hopefully becoming well enough to take on jobs from the government and all over the world. Architecture I believe is what fits my career profile because I do like to put everything in perspective in a sample drawing to determine what the final product will somewhat look like! I have a good imagination and try to analyze my surrounding structures; I am also very observant and creative which should help me in this career. Adding some imagination to our ideas, we can come up with extravagant and beautiful designs of our own liking;...

It's been kind of a full-circle life. I grew up in a craft-centric family. My mother and my grandmother both taught me how to crochet and to make rag rugs and do latch hook. All very early on. In middle school, I remember my dad built a craft room for me off our garage. I would spend every day after school and all summer long in that craft room tackling every sort of DIY. I was very arts-focused. When I went off to Princeton, I realized that I couldn't be a crafts maker for a career, and so I pursued architecture, which for me had a lot of the same principles of building, making and creating.

After the systems planning is complete, the next course of action is the systems analysis phase. This phase includes defining the requirements of the system. This means that the team must conclude what the system needs to do in order to satisfy the users. This is done by forming a requirements...
Laszlo and Krippner (1998) describe a system as “a complex of interacting components together with the relationships among them that permit the identification of a boundary-maintaining entity or process. (p. 2) Systems Theory is based on studying how individual parts of a system interact with each other to produce certain behaviors. System theory can be classified as identifying patterns and behaviors. The roots of system thinking have been in existence since the early 20th Century and have since been formally identified as such. The process of systems thinking is being able to pay attention to the whole while focusing on the complex interrelationships that make up a system to encourage the development

This career is also incredibly rewarding because you get to see and experience your work. You can see its progress and how it looks once it is finished and then even after that you can still experience it and see how other people react to your building or the place that you have designed. Only after seeing how other people interact with your building will you know if it is a success or not which is like no other profession. Lots of professions are very instantaneous, did you save someone, did you teach properly or have you added correctly but architecture is something that lives on even after you are gone. It is something that can immortalise a person which is incredibly poetic.
A system model is a conceptual representation of a whole system outlay. It represents the multiple views and needs which should be incorporated in the system development. There are different types of system development model, each of which has their advantages and disadvantages
#System Design - armed with the system requirements developed the design stage is geared towards detailing the construction of the system defining system specifications and how the various tasks within the process will be
Imagine designing a dream home with all the color and space conceivable. This illustrates the work of an interior designer. A "schemer, intriguer, or plotter," could prosper in a career of design (dictionary.com, 'designer'). A career in interior design allows innate abilities of creativity and organization to be practiced in satisfying a client's desire for style and flare in their home or workplace.
The profession of architecture, the possible career as an architect, taking steps to gain a position and education as well as the set growth and prospects of this profession. According to Lee W. Waldrep (2010), author of the book Becoming a Architect “A Guide to Careers in Design, an architect is an imaginative person who designs a wide range of structures for buildings”(p. 2). These structures not only have to be aesthetically pleasing, but must also meet the safety requirements. Architects have to compete with other architects to attract customers by presenting designs. This process is generally based on building a reputation as an architect. Due to the nature and the amount of time devoted to designing, architects
... do. I am the type of person that becomes bored very quickly with the same thing day in and day out, so this fast paced, always-changing work atmosphere is perfect for my personality. As a civil engineer I will choose to work outside with a hands-on approach to the projects I take on. This will be a very rewarding career for me, since I will get to see a specific design all the way through to the finished project, and I will get to observe how this finished project helps the public. I also like the fact that my work would benefit more people in one day than almost any other profession. Since I am good at solving problems and designing and constructing things, I should have no problems as a civil engineer. Because civil engineering has all the qualities I am looking for in a job, I feel that it is the perfect career for me.
META Group considers enterprise architecture as a process as opposed to an object, thereby referring to it as enterprise architecture process. Its enterprise architecture describes the systematic linkages between the enterprise business, technical architectures, information and enterprise solution architecture. It has modified the traditional enterprise architecture in a manner that extends from the level of business strate...
Recent years have been challenging for the whole country and particularly for the construction sector and the architectural profession. Challenging times do however, afford the opportunity for reflection and debate about what is provided and delivered by the architectural profession.
