They are typically project primes, help set program goals with clients, and select the engineers and geo-technical engineers for projects. They have a responsibility of balancing project goals, which include not only emergency management but resilience and sustainability goals which are applicable to risk management.
Dear Jay
Yes, I do, because I believe that architecs are concerned with aspects considered by engineers but not in depth, , such as aesthetics, balanced proportions of buildings, orientation, landscaping, distribution of offcices, habitability, effcient lighting, lay out of buildings, etc
Yes. The head, and most members of my perofessional group are architects. That is a strategic decision because locally, architects are seen as the leaders of the design and construction profession. Thus, many people go first to the architect when they want to undertake construction projects.
Additionally, their conceptual abilities are a good asset for any business unit.
I have seen too many psychartric facilities designed by the youngest architect because no one in the firm wants this unglamorist assignment. As a result, they create a dangerous behavioral healthcare environment both for the staff and the patients. They just don't spend the time to seek out a professional BH Engineer.
