civil engineer to architect

I have to ask . . . Why not enroll in an architecture school? In the USA, one may not become a registered architect without graduating from an accredited school of architecture.

Without a degree in architecture, one may design anything, but if a registered architect doesn't 'sign off' on it, then it probably won't be used.

tnx bill. im already considering that option. i hope someday il be in the US or Australia for my dream job.

i wish there could be anyone out there who could suggest companies in US and Australia who hire internationally. i mean hire employees from the Philippines.

What I am going to say here may not be directly related to your question, but please bear with me. I don't remember which post it was, but your name (not "guest" but the "ylan s" handle) rings a bell. It was a good question, though maybe not yet highly knowledgeable.

From the standpoint of architecture, especially as it may relate to aesthetics, you would surely want to familiarize yourself with Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry, and Santiago Calatrava (!!!), to mention a few. (Far too few, actually.) From an engineering perspective, check out Mario Salvadori's books, and also Samuel Florman's "The Existential Pleasures of Engineering."

These are not technical books, but they may point some ways for you to find your own path between the technical and the artistic. They are enjoyable reading in any case, and they do a nice job of blending fine art with technological savvy. (May the twain meet more often!)

Blessings on your quest.

to tornado, tnx a lot!
