Architects are not viewed the same way as they were 100 to 200 years ago. The Bible describes God is the creator of the start, human life, and every living thing on earth. In addition, architects were the only ones who created buildings, town, and entire cities; therefore, some described and viewed architects as “Gods.” The architects would be seen socializing with the kings and presidents. 200 years ago, architecture was viewed as a high status job, and jobs that were only obtainable by the upper class, such as a how brain surgeon or politicians are viewed today.
Today architects are still viewed highly; however, many things have changed. First, the word architect is used for many other reasons besides architecture. The main example is using the word architect to mean “the designer of….”. In addition, in rural areas, if you were to ask some individuals what an architect does, some would not know. Some people think architects are the babysitters for clients, the people who make the pretty pictures, and/or . Also, in today’s economy, an individual should not rely on just being an architect to keep a job. Most people today have engineering or law backgrounds, know all the latest software, and/ or involved in national architecture related organizations, thus making it challenging to gain and keep a job position in the field of architecture.
