Architects design buildings for various purposes like homes, offices, medical facilities, and factories. They decide how involved they will be in each project, from just designing to overseeing construction. Building projects require a team including architects, landscape architects, drafters, engineers, contractors, and specialists. Architects combine art, engineering, construction, planning, and management skills. They use CAD software to design buildings and meet with clients. Landscape architects plan outdoor areas. Drafters prepare drawings communicating architects' designs. Engineers ensure structures are safe through calculations. Contractors oversee construction and subcontractors handle specific work. Interior designers select interior decorations to make buildings livable.
