Architectural Technologist

One who makes an architects' sketches a reality. This involves incorporating the following:
Structural elements so the building stands up;
Services so that the building caters for the end user;
Compliance with Building Standards with respect to fire escape, disabled access and a thousand other considerations;
Finishes that keep the weather out and are actually suited to the local environment.

They are generally fluent in CAD, and are miracle workers.
The Architectural Technologist acts as interpreter between architect and contractor, and understands their respective roles better than they do themselves.

architect

One who assesses situation and defines goals for analysis and resolution in fresh form then provides the guidance for its implementation.

In this, the architect combines survey and interpretation, art and science, documentation and management, planning and development.

An architect may work with buildings or anything else. Their work is usually conceived as a project and their involvement spans the breadth of that project extending beyond it to its multitude of connections. The title when used alone refers to those trained and registered to deal with the built environment. That title may be linked to any other field of endeavour to describe by association with the nature of the architectural profession, the capability of developing a similar process.
