What Does an Architect Do?

http://books.gregvan.com/architecture_books.htm I would imagine that most people know what an architect does, but if you're watching this video maybe you don't. Architect draw and design homes for people. I put together a couple of videos on other construction trades like engineering and building contractors, to give people a general idea what role certain people play in the home design and building process. Some architects can get pretty creative and this usually shows up in the form of amazing and incredible buildings.

I've heard that the Architect trade is the worst trade to go into currently, is this true?

[gregvancom]

@HopelessDPS It's a tough life, unless you're a go getter.

@gregvancom What's the biggest challenge?

[gregvancom]

@HopelessDPS Finding work and then finding work that pays well.
