How does the architect become competent in so many diverse areas?
An architect goes through a long period of training before they become licensed. First, are five or six years of formal academic training in courses covering all aspects of the design and building process. Second, they must have at least three years of experience working under the direct supervision of a licensed architect. Third they must pass a rigid nine-part examination administered by the state. Finally, they must develop a working knowledge of the technical disciplines of multiple consultants in order to coordinate their efforts.
