The Relationship Between Architecture and Civil Engineering

6/13/2016

11 Comments

 
Civil Engineering Santa Rosa
The relationship between Architecture and Civil Engineering is important for communicating and coordinating the safety and quality of the project. While the professions are similar, they have different perspectives and priorities. 

Aspects of the Relationship

Architecture specializes in spatial functionality and aesthetics of designing and developing infrastructure projects. The functionality, creativity, and feel of structures is the focus. Civil Engineering concentrates on the structural elements, emphasizing the feasibility of the construction project, strength of materials, and safety. Other distinctions between Civil Engineering and Architecture include:

  • Shared leadership. While Architects and Civil Engineers work together to design a construction project, the Architect takes the lead on design, while the Civil Engineer concentrates on the physics involved in the development project.
  • Blending aesthetics with safety. An Architect enhances the interior and exterior appeal of the structure, while the Civil Engineer determines strategies to ensure that the aesthetic materials are stable and safe.
  • Design and work quality. The Architect designs for placement, dwelling space, facility arrangement, room, lighting, and ventilation, whereas the Civil Engineer designs to support the Architectural features, plans the ancillary components to support the development,  supervise the construction, and implement the design.
  • Project design and construction. While the Architect creates the aesthetic design of the project, the Civil Engineer produces it based on load calculation, foundations, grading, drainage, and utilities.

Both Architects and Civil Engineers are involved in preparing and creating a project and work together throughout the development process. They rely on the support of each other to complete the project successfully.

Thank you for pointing out that architects and engineers are involved in the preparation and creation of a project. My brother has been thinking of going to school to be an engineer. It's good to know that they support each other throughout a project.

It's interesting that architects focus on the aesthetic design of a project while civil engineers focus on the physics involved. My brother would like to get a custom house built, and he wants to make sure that it looks nice while still being structurally sound. I'll share this information with him so that he can look further into his options for hiring the right people to help him out.

It was helpful when you explained that civil engineers make sure the desired aesthetics of a building can be achieved safely. My brother wants to have a custom office building constructed near the freeway since it's near a developing are ain our city. I'll send him this article to make sure he understands the important role a civil engineer could play in the process.

I'm trying to get a building made, but I want to make sure that I do things properly. It makes sense that having the right professionals with me would be beneficial for me! That seems like a great way to ensure that I get everything put together properly.

Adscaff design tensile strength exceeds the Workplace Health and Safety ‘minimum tensile breaking force requirement of 2 kilo-newton’s (kN) per strand’ whilst incorporating an additional AS/NZS 1170 variability factor of kt of 1.33. Tensile strength as tested through NATA accredited testers ‘Melbourne Testing Services’ recorded 3.2 kN and 2.9 kN breaking force per strand in the longitudinal and transverse directions respectively exceeding the base 2kN requirement.
