INTRODUCTION
Architecture is a profession which is known for its unique discipline with amalgamation of art, technology, community, culture and built environment. It is a profession that builds the beautiful world based on learning, knowledge experience and the modern technologies.
Clients in this profession plays key role as they are the one who supports the practice financially. It is totally wrong to say that clients should be given major priority because if we do as per what they say then what is the use of our knowledge and study. The profession doesn’t gets recognised by the number of clients rather it is recognized by good and unique design that responds to users, community and built environment. Thus, Architects and designers are solely responsible for their profession and practice so their responsibility towards their profession and practice, built and social environment are equally important to that of client.

“To win in the marketplace you must first win in the workplace.” Doug Conant
The workers are the one who help in the upliftment of the organization. It you provide good friendly workable environment with rewards for work then the employer too will work hard for the betterment of organization.
“Clients do not come first. Employees come first. If you take care if your employees, they will take care of the clients.”– Richard Branson .
Thus, treating employees fairly, no matter where in the world the business is operating and opting to purchase goods/services that adopt ethical labour practices will sustain the profession and
According to Lee W. Waldrep (2010), author of the book Becoming an Architect: A Guide to Careers in Design, an architect is an imaginative person who designs a wide spectrum of structures for buildings (Waldrep, 2010, p 2). These structures must meet safety requirements in addition to being aesthetically pleasing. Architects must compete with other architects to attract clients by presenting designs. This process generally rests on building a good reputation as an architect. Because of the nature and the large amounts of time spent on designing, architects must work long hours when their skill is required during different stages of construction.
The first thing is the history of architecture. Scientist has proven that the first sign of architecture showings were started 30,000 years ago. This job really began back in 8000 B.C., when Egyptians started building tents and houses. After the tents and houses, came the buildings and pyramids, which were built between 3000-2500 B.C. Now architecture has evolved into one of the best and highest paid jobs in the United States today. Just about everything around you today started out as a plan in someone’s architecture firm. Some of the most famous buildings were designed, planned, and built by architects. For instance the Eifel tower, the Statue of Liberty, and the twin towers were all done by architects. Being an architect isn’t really anything to be famous. There aren’t really any famous architects, but all of them get lots of money. Hard work, dedication, and a positive mind can make anyone a successful architect in today’s world.
It is also important for both the client and the worker to realize that they are both there to help each other. The client must not think that they are useless and the worker must realize that it is their job to help the client form a healthy interdependence
The workplace is a very sensitive place, especially in businesses. The workers need to be motivated by their bosses to do work properly. Otherwise, they get demoralized. The managers should not be harsh in correcting mistakes since mistakes are bound to happen in any scenario. The manager should have a democratic way of communicating with the employees, this way they become free and the job environment becomes conducive. It is evident in job-friendly environments that jobs are well done and profits increase.
In the process of development of human society, architecture and culture are inseparable. Cuthbert (1985) indicates that architecture, with its unique art form, expresses the level of human culture in different historical stages, as well as the yearning towards the future. According to his article, it can be said that architecture has become one of the physical means for human to change the world and to conquer the nature. Consequently, architecture has been an important component of human civilization. Since 1980s when China started the opening and reforming policy, a variety of architectural ideas, schools and styles have sprung up. Accompanying with a momentum of...
Architecture is the art or practice of designing and constructing buildings. It includes the complex and carefully designed structure of something. Architects are people who practice this art in which they mostly design buildings and homes that are suitable for people to be in and use for everyday needs. Throughout history there have been many influential architects who have designed world famous structures that are located all across the world. One of these architects is Philip Cortelyou Johnson, who designed major buildings in the United States of America. Like most architects, he has an interesting history of how he became what he is, his own architectural style, and his accomplishments.

It is a well-established reality that organisations in the world today can no longer survive without focusing on their employees. If they have to be at the competitive edge, they have to invest in human resources, and placing their employees on top priority. This notion has led to the strategies that, most organisations are pursuing through employee management. To achieve the optimum performance of employees, organisations must motivate their employees, and engage them in activities that will benefit and help employees in achieving their predetermined goals and objectives. In order to achieve this, it is imperative for managers to set in motion work conditions that will help employees to achieve satisfaction of their job, low turnover and absenteeism rate and promote the environment that promotes the organizational commitments and organizational citizenship behavior.

The role of the architect is a question that evokes a spectrum of answers from Norman Foster’s definition; ‘Architect is an expression of values… the way we build is a reflection of the way we live.’ [Foster, cited in Tholl, 2014: Online] This debate of who and what an architect should be and do is not a recent one to emerge but has lead many architects and designers as far back as Vitruvius [15BC] to produce documentation on what they believed to be the make-up of an architect. In Vitruvius’ ‘The Ten Books On Architecture’ he quickly establishes two fragments that make an architect, the manual skill and the theory and scholarship.
Every person with a job, no matter what occupation, makes an impact on society in some way, shape, or form. Some people leave their legacy by defending people in court, some saving lives in a hospital, and others planning and building works of construction. These planners have a large-scale effect on everybody in society and have an eye for detail, as well as enjoy using mathematics to ensure proper construction. That is why I have chosen architecture to be my career. An architect is a person who designs buildings and supervises their construction. A broader view of an architect is a person who is responsible for inventing or realizing a particular idea or project. Architecture varies from the pillars of the Greek Parthenon, to peoples’ homes. I often find myself marveling over the design of large-scale building projects such as the skyscrapers of New York City. Most of these buildings belong to a myriad of well-known companies such as Chase and Toshiba. That is why I have particularly chosen to become a commercial architect.
With the help of architectural engineers, our world has become very civilized and advanced over the past decades. Like all other engineers, architectural engineers use logic and creativity to solve problems. They come up with effective designs to assist people in their everyday tasks. In our daily lives we are surrounded by buildings. Places that were once a dessert are turned into cities that now hold amazing buildings. Houses, schools, shopping centers, offices, apartments, airports, etc. are very essential in our society. These buildings do not only please the eye, but they also provide us with shelter and are made to withstand hurricanes, earthquakes, snow storms, and strong winds. Would these buildings still function efficiently and provide us with a stable shelter if it were not for architectural engineers? There are different engineers with each their own expertise, but for buildings in particular, architectural engineers are needed. Architectural engineering, also known as building engineering, is an interdisciplinary program that integrates important knowledge from different disciplines such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering , architecture, physics, chemistry, biology, and economics (“Building Engineering”). An architectural engineering professional has to master all the different disciplines because the design of building systems often requires the application of the disciplines. Architectural engineers are important in today’s society because they possess the knowledge and qualifications to work on complex buildings, lead project teams, and most importantly, to provide us with a safe environment.
deal with those clients. You still have to deal with them, so do your best at what you can do.
Behind every architectural work there is an architect, whether the architect is one man or woman, a small group, or an entire people. The structure created by any of these architects conveys a message about the architect: their culture, their identity, their struggles. Because of the human element architects offer to their work not just a building is made, but a work of art, a symbol of a people, a representation, is also created.
