Architecture

Introduction Iranian architecture is one of the country’s oldest arts and has a rich history and indigenous expertise. It has been widely regarded as among the finest examples of Iranian art. Architecture is the art and taste of designing buildings, urban spaces and other internal and external spaces to create harmony between functional and aesthetic needs. An architect is someone who, in addition to technical principles, also pays attention to different aspects such as aesthetics, psychology, and culture, so that he can design and implement the best plan for the building according to the required criteria.

Education Architectural engineers receive their degree after completing a 4-year bachelor’s degree, and then for higher degrees, they can choose different courses such as architecture-architecture/architecture-landscape/urban design/project management and construction/interior architecture and various other degrees. Following the knowledge that an architect acquires through education, he/she can perform different activities and do different projects. Among the most important of these activities, the following can be mentioned:

1. Design, from the initial designs to the execution stage of work and component design
2. General and superior supervision of the correctness of the work in the executive operations of the building {supervising engineer}.
3. Management and executive coordination of architectural projects {project management}.
4. Participation in city planning and design projects.
5. Interior decoration6. Establishment and supervision of architectural offices

Practice Considering that having competence and ability in this field in order to work in the field of architecture is one of the noteworthy points and is of great importance, there is an organization in Iran called “Organization of Construction Engineering System”, that the main goal is to create a healthy and orderly environment to improve the quality and quantity of activities and as a result provide better services and gain satisfaction. In order to be able to supervise the building, engineers are required to apply for a work permit through this organization so that their qualifications are confirmed, additionally according to their last education degree, people need to have worked in this profession for different years in order to find the initial qualification of the exam. For this purpose, various exams with a validity of up to 3 years are held to obtain a license, and each of these exams are designed differently with professional questions in three fields of: architecture (execution), architecture (supervision) and architecture (design). Each part can be examined individually and the best person and as a result the best conditions will be created. Qualification check is not only at this point and people are checked even after receiving the employment permit so that the quality improves daily. For this reason, there is an internal organization in the engineering system organization that checks reports and performance records.
