Lesson Overview
This lesson provides students with views of the different areas in which an architect may work, depending on the focus of their interests and training. If a student is comfortable with math and geometry, and also has artistic leanings, a career as an ARCHITECT can be extremely creative, lucrative, and personally satisfying.
Essential Question
What are the different types of architecture needed in today's world? What are the exact duties of an architect when designing a building, or an outdoor park, and what types of training does one need?
