ya, being licensed is necessary, but only if i'm looking to do work for others (and actually, that's not even true, i can always design stuff and get a licensed architect to sign-off on what i've done...it's an intern architect). i'm not looking to do commercial work, just stuff for myself, most of which doesn't require anything more than a city permit and plans certified by a structural engineer.
then of course furniture doesn't even require that!
oh, and those costs for the solar decathlon are probably right, but i think you're missing my point. i'm just saying it was inspiring to see them. i don't plan on duplicating their efforts.
- but i do agree, i don't think i'd care to do this as my final profession.nearestexit
- the problem with that is that the licensed architect is then liable if anything goes wrong...it is not that simple.xcarlx
- i sure would not want that person designing my house.xcarlx
- you've never heard of intern architects? they're in every firm.nearestexit
- but most are drawing out schedules for bathrooms and light fixturesnearestexit
- yeah, i know intern archtiects, but that is different than what you are proposing, often interns do not design anything.xcarlx
- there are some very nice schools that aren't accredited, I don't think being licensed would slow anyone down with real talent.doesnotexist
