ARCHITECTURE
Lesson 1 A Dream Job


Have you ever thought about your future? What
kind of job do you want? Here’s an idea. Be an architect!

You could design parks, hospitals, schools, and even

sports stadiums. The possibilities are endless! Does this

sound like fun? Sure, but it takes a lot of hard work and

dedication to become an architect.




























First you must be good at drawing. An architect
needs to be able to put their ideas on paper. The first step

is making sketches of the building. Sketches help an

architect imagine what their idea will look like. Think of

designing a sports stadium. How many people does it

need to fit? Where will the water go when it rains? How
will people leave in an emergency? The architect needs

to imagine all the possibilities. In this way an architect

must think like an engineer.



8 Lesson 1

sketch blueprint
design regulation
The look and feel of a building is just as important function possibility

as its function . Think of a large office building. It needs lawyer dedication

to have plenty of space and be well organized to function
well. But this isn’t all. It needs to make workers feel

relaxed and productive. If it makes them feel fatigued or

depressed then it won’t function well. A house needs to

feel warm and relaxing. A museum should look

important. In this way an architect needs to think like an
artist.































Once the idea is set the architect makes the

blueprints . The builders use the blueprints as a map

when they make the building. There are many

regulations the architect must follow. Like a lawyer , an
architect must know the law. Everything about the

building must be correct or it can’t be built. Being an

architect is like being an artist, engineer, and lawyer all
in one!
