Architecture - the art of your dream home
Architecture
Architecture or interior architecture and design is art of conceptual design and technical skills where you need to work of multi branch study that enables you to develop your skills in structural design and practice for making good foundation for a well planned home and interior.
Architecture (Photo self source) is a combination of different arts, sciences and business management most probably the best option for someone willing to perfect the art of visual by breaking different aspects in to pieces and then jointing and reconstructing them allover again. Most of the time an architect plans according to budget and interest of his clients based upon ideas and inputs provided but he does it in his own way of planning, sketching, designing and of course situation and space available. He may consult in case his client has engaged the services of a home decorator to accommodate his ideas in his blue prints.
The art of architectural designing
Architecture is integration of civil engineering, materials’ technology, visual designs and any design related to create an object in a proportional and artistic way. This is taken in the sense of related to building of houses especially but the fact is that any thing that is man made is an art of architect. For me Pyramids (Picture- wikipedia) are the best examples of architectural engineering where every angle of building has been taken into account. Moreover, if you look at other top constructions those were carried out when no modern architecture was in existence that sure makes you think about the real value of architectural art that existed in every age since man learnt the art of construction buildings. (Picture- wikipedia) Tajmahal or Tower of Pisa and other great buildings from the architectural viewpoint of pre modern architectural era. I think there were greater architects present even in those periods.
An architect generally works from his office but visits the site of construction frequently as well to deal with ‘on the spot’ problems but most of the time he does his planning sitting in his office in consultation with his client. The modern architect knows how to construct a house using latest technologies to provide best facilities within budget with his knowledge and experience of material, trends and designs those gives elegant looks to suit space available yet keeping in mind the standards and statuary guidelines and laws.
What to expect
A house plan that needs a special care beginning from entrance covering lawn, garage, servant accommodation, the porch, outer brandah, living rooms, drawing/dining room, lobby/lobbies, bedrooms etc. A good architect knows how to take care of kitchen, the swimming pool, indoor games, balconies, staircase the children rooms, toilets and whatever the needs of his clients adjusted in a manner to provide maximum space within the available piece of land. In case the budget allows the place for guests can also be adjusted accordingly.
An architect – your complete solution
Once you have decided about a house of your own you only need to appoint a good architect to help you in every matter right from getting a good land according to your chosen area or if you already have a piece of land your architect will visit to look at its shape. Make sure that the piece of land you are going to build a house belongs to you; I mean carefully check the ownership and lease deed etc once again. Once you are through, hand it over to architect. The Architect knows how best make the designs and arrange material because he is the master of this art.
Architect knows his job
Once an architect starts working on a house, he makes rough designs for your approval and finally the blue prints. These blue prints are approved by the governing authorities according to law of the state. These blue prints are also used as working drawings for walls, and other necessary structure work in a house. The architects keep provision for electric fittings, plumbing and air-conditioning etc according to need. These days the guidelines need rain water harvesting/storage and solar heater provisions as per the government's rules and these are mandatory in certain cities according to size of the buildings.
A good architect knows about doors, kitchen, and bathroom accessories, he even decide which doors, bathroom fixtures, and kitchen appliances will be best suitable in a house. This sometimes takes quite a while to determine your needs in a proper way but if you have every thing about specifications written in a well planed manner that helps your architect plan a full explanation of the building that you are looking for your house.
Architect can do interiors as well
Most architects these days either have expertise in interior decoration or appoint trained staff who can handle your needs of interior decoration right from your entrance, lawns, fitting, wardrobes, kitchen and bathroom furnishing, electrical fittings and wall paints. Some of them even provide their expert advice for your different needs of furniture in different rooms without or with help of other home decorators.
Actually the availability of range at such a wide level has made it difficult to choose from without a proper knowledge or help and an expert advice at this comes in handy and if it’s coming from an expert architect or his trained assistant that makes things that much easier. They know the material and the range like the back of their palm so it is good to hand over the entire interior also to make you free from the entire interior designing as well.
The conclusion
Therefore, the basic needs to discuss are- Specifications, budget, that explains that how much it would cost for your house. Your architect even plan a bank loan like a chartered accountant does while planning an industry for you and he plans the installment according to your financial capacity that you pay to your bank after the stipulated time. In fact, once you appoint an architect for your house related needs, you only have to move in the moment your dream house completed.
