Architectural Design
(OP)
Im a structural engineer but find that on Industrial/warehousing jobs I also do architectural/layout drawings as well as structural drawings and calculations on many jobs. Is anyone else in this category and if so how do you rate your architectural flare??






RE: Architectural Design
there is a trend of P.E.B. specialists, providing complete architectural and structural details. So i think they are to be blamed for starting this trend of architectural details coming from structural designer. Specialy here in Dubai.
So yes same here as far as Industrial buildings and warehouses are concerned.

The most architecture I see on these types of warehouse buildings basically concerns the style of metal and the color. Whoopie!!!
But in Missouri - the rule is or was last time I checked - any building over 20,000 cubic feet or having more than 9 workers had to have an architect. WHY - I just don't know. I think they have a better rep than us engineers.
Many houses today are over 20,000 cubic feet and I have seen many houses designed by "designers" that are better than most architects could ever hope to create.

Can't and shouldn't an engineer be able to do most of those??
