Using an Architect to Build Your Home is Key

Architecture

The practice of architecture is a long and honored one. The buildings that we see, use, and admire from antiquity have one thing in common—they were built using architectural principles. When we look at Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and Gothic building, we see beauty, grace, utility, and aesthetics. These are the things that an architect can bring to the table. According to the dictionaries and encyclopedias I used, one of the primary goals of an architect is to build considering human requirements, construction materials, practical use, aesthetics, as well as utility. Being a novice, I built for utility.

Self-Design

When I decided to build myself, which I have done twice without the aid of an architect, I thought that I had to all of the design myself. The final results were barely adequate. Not that the homes, the first in Montana and the second in Missouri, were not sound, but the problems that showed up were a result of poor design.
