SEGMENT 1: CAREER PREPARATION & EMPLOYABILITY
Residential/Domestic Architecture
Architects can generally study in Civil Architecture, Residential Architecture, Landscape Architects. These all fall under specific guidelines, that benefit one another, and complete an overall goal of lowering an areas green footprint and better the conditions of one general area.
Residential Architecture, also called domestic architecture, is the design and building of residential properties. These projects include multi-unit residential buildings, single-family homes, renovations and remodels. The term is used to distinguish residential architects from commercial architects, who use their architectural skills and education for designing workplaces. The primary difference between the two is the terminology used while completing a job, and not the necessary knowledge. Both types of architects receive the same education, follow the same guidelines and take the same registration exams.
Residential architects, like all architects, earn a professional degree from a program accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board. Different types of architecture degrees are available. Options include a traditional bachelor's degree, a 5-year Bachelor of Architecture degree, and master's degrees. A Bachelor of Architecture educates students with no previous training and is highly specialized, while a 4-year bachelor's degree program allows students to pursue other interests if they change their mind. Depending on previous architecture training, master's degrees take 1-5 years to complete.
After earning a professional degree, residential architects receive hands-on training. Some professionals specialize in a particular type of home building through experience and workshops. While further certification may be helpful, additional degrees are not required to specialize. Environmental building, historic preservation and restoration are examples of particular types of residential architecture that are becoming increasingly popular.
Employment of architects is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2018. Prospective architects may face competition for positions at prestigious firms. To increase one's chances of getting an internship after graduation, prospective architects should gain career-related experience in an architectural firm while still in school. Those who know CADD technology will also have an advantage.
The average of a Residential Architect is now at medium of $69,000 a year and is as low as $40,000 and an average high over about $112,000. Obtained with masters in Residential/Domestic architecture and some commercial architecture.
My plans to enter the field of architecture is to go to a private college that offers a 5 year master's degree in multiple fields of architecture and to minor in business/entrepreneur leadership careers so that one day i may own my own architecture firm. I plan on studying at either Ferris State, or Lawrence Tech.
