WEEK 2

Today Professor Huang wanted to clear up the misconception of Architects and what they really do. In the world of architecture there are the perceptions, myths, and then there is reality. She said that when most people think of an architect they think they are in an office working with a t-square or they are on a construction site giving orders and pointing to blueprints. 

                                                  

The reality is that is not very common at all and most architects are more like an artist, an engineer, an inventor and more. An architect must be good at multiple things and be like a jack of all trades. She discussed more about what aspects actually go into an architects job.

Professor Huang showed us many pieces of work from the Spanish architect, sculptor, and structural engineer Santiago Calatrava. Santiago Calatrava is well known throughout the world for buildings, bridges, train stations, and much more. This is the Turning Torso in Sweden by Santiago Calatrava.
