I’m in my first year of my architectural drafting class, but I have been looking at job sites and not seeing too many in this field. Is it because of the bad job market or because drafters and CAD designers are not needed?
The program is for a 2 year associates
And it is at a community college so it is a non-profit school
Architecture was hit pretty hard by the recession, because when money starts to dry up developers have to cancel their projects and they can’t afford to start new ones. No projects = no architects.
You can expect the number of available jobs to increase in the coming years as land development picks back up.
You should really consider upgrading your education to a Bachelors in Architecture at some point in the future.
Help me out here someone please!!
I need a better answer than that paulina.
Someone Please help, i need to know ASAP!
Absolutely nothing illegal about it. If that’s what you do, that’s what you do. I used to do architectural design and drafting myself.

The only thing I would point out to you is that if you are NOT in fact an architect, make sure your clients realize that fact. Putting ‘Architectural Design & Drafting’ on a business card is one thing – misleading people into thinking you are an architect if you’re not is quite another thing. Could lead to lawsuits for misrepresentation.
I am looking for a job in office/administrative assistant and here’s what I wrote under experience on my resume:

Consider using more KEY WORDS in your resume.
%Key words are words / ideals / functions that are common to the position you are seeking.
"ORGANIZING DATA, FILING RECORDS, EFFICIENT TIME MANAGEMENT, WORKS WELL INDEPENDENTLY AND IN GROUP SETTINGS, DETAIL ORIENTED" are common catch-words in most successful resumes.
I’m interested in doing building designs. I’ve researched and these two seem to be the best choices. But their descriptions seem to be almost the same thing… Whats the difference between them? Heelllpppp.
Architect is responsible for the designing of a building or structure and civil engineer is responsible for the the contents that go into the structure, including concrete, steel, etc.
I have an essay to do for next wednesday, the question being:
Outline briefly the ‘biography’ of Stonehenge and discuss the social and ritual significance of the architectural and symbolic complexity of this monument.
I have researched into a few different theories that Stonehenge could have been used for. The fact that it could have been used to map the sky, and that it was used as a cemetery. Could anyone give me some other directions to go on this question?
Sorry for my english 
. Thanks in advance, Simon
It a simple solstice formation and used as a possibly magical/religious basis but I think using the word complex is going a bit far in comparison to other far more sophisticated sites.
I’ve got less than a year and i’ll be certified as an architectural drafter, but since architects and engineers do much of the drafting themselves why do they need drafters to do the job for them. I don’t see the need to go into drafting when it’s done by the engineers and architects
It is only a dying field on a drawing table, and it is mostly done now on Computers.
To answer your question they may do rough drafts and leave it to the people like yourself, to do the fine and final work. Which will then be given to the builders on the work site.

Hello,
I bought a Canon 17mm ts lens to do interior and exterior architectural photography. I am having a hard time getting a decent looking interior because of the extreme wide angle. Everything on the edges looks distorted and larger than normal – which is normal for wideangle lens’, but any advice on how to shoot a ‘natural’ looking interior with this lens? When I use the ’shift’, the distortions are even worse. This lens was way to expensive to not get abover average results in my opinion. Do I just need to stick to a more standard lens if I want a natural look?
Thanks,
I use a 14mm Tamron lens on my Canon 10-D. I originally bought the lens when I switched over to digital because of the 1.6x telephoto factor caused by the sensors being smaller than 35mm (at the time) and I wanted something close to the 24mm effect that I got with my old film camera: a Minolta XD-11.
If you want some help in using a shift lens; check out Brian Ratty’s video tape series "On Assignment" using large formats. I think that the techniques that he uses in the camera of his large format bellows camera will also apply here. Perhaps mounting your lens on a bellows would give you more control? The problem is keeping the subject straight with the film plane — which is hard to do since the film plane on a SLR won’t pivot like on a large format camera.
In some cases, though, you can help avoid the distortion by standing on a step ladder about 6 feet off the ground. Remember also that the center area of your picture will have the most natural look. Tilt your camera up and down to actually see the distortion and then pick the angle that gives you the look that you want. Naturally you’ll have to crop out the distortion at the edges.
Another possibilty is to use PhotoShop’s ability to correct for barrel and pincushion distortion. Any good "How To" book on digital photography or PhotoShop should include a chapter on this since it is such a common occurrence. Good luck!
Please describe how they accomplished this goal. Please include one European designer.
Designers must be from victorian or arts and crafts era.
