Architectural designers create plans, drawings, and layouts for buildings and landscapes. They are typically less qualified than architects and are not recognized by a statutory body. This job includes meeting with clients to discuss a project’s requirements and budget, creating layouts that reflect the brief, and ensuring that the blueprints comply with regulations. They typically work full time in an office environment. Architectural designers should have the creativity to find new ways to design buildings, the technical skill to utilize CAD software, and the communication skills to deal with clients and colleagues alike.
