The Lagniappe : Architecture


Architecture and the life within it, tends to verge and embark on, one of the best lifestyles, profession goals, social critter and of course tenacity for work. Though we all have known random ways to work upon the basic qualities to be a wonderful Architect in future. Still, there are some already-parched dishes in this plate, Caliber of this profession, which can be experienced once you live in it completely .
The Lifestyle ...
Architects are acknowledged to have this quality of admiring, about the appearance of something beyond how it is actually presenting itself. This is the reason behind how Architecture adds a different taste to the life of the person experiencing it. It is definitely not a job, but a lifestyle ...
Esteemed Architects ...
Cognizance followed by general public is that they respect Architects. Even if people don't understand what we do with just a paper and a pen. After all this we the Architects have been rewarded with that higher course of respect in society. The best part, Architects are not viewed as the ones which are driven by money or some other matter of materialism.
Job that expands around every time ...
There is a wide variety of work description in this line of career. From designing, doodling, sketching to the selection of materials, building technology, climatology. Not to forget, everyone's favorite "Vastu". Remember the client coming with more vastu knowledge than you. Hence this job as an Architect makes you a prominent of all subjects which even add a permanent vision in your day to day life.
Artistic freedom and curb ...
This is how it works though its even more amazing when you experience it. We have the parameters depending on the conditions of the site, which decide our limitations and then we are given freedom to express our artistic ways to develop a good design. Random number of Architects with same site, same parameters will still produce different accomplished designs.
Be your own boss ...
The freedom to be our own boss, i.e. open our own firm and provide ourselves the framework to set a new design every time and then also provide service with our own taste of design. Moreover, with no restraints for any particular team of any project, even two people can design the prime.
The concrete result ...
If anyone has seen his or her own design been constructed then they would know what I am talking about. Its like having your own laboratory and refining things depending on their past results. And with time, the continuation of designing and the tangibility to see the same been deployed, makes the way towards perfection even more clear.
Affirmative impact ...
Because we create what people relate to completely and set their dreams to come true. Anything we create doesn't have a right or wrong answer because of the fact that design creates something which is new, enhancing the purpose for which we are here and definitely it reflects our personalities. The actual feel, which comes when one lives a dream because of us, the Architects.
Probe that continues ...
The eye of an Architect has a different vision for what they observe at every nook. This is because of the experimentation which is expected in our profession. We create something every time which is different and yet unique in its own way.

Falling in love with an Architect ....

Endorsement of a single thing for innumerable times or, Implementation of innumerable things for one time ..... only an Architect knows this shit. We always have a well fabricated and versed artefact in our basket, with a daily entreat, to make it more worth.

Well, its not advisable to color the entire profession with same crayon, and so some of these experiences might lie in your ring too. Here are some factors, which should be known if you are dating an Architect and you never know if these would fit in for the one you admire.
Money
If one is looking for the money torments, then choosing an Architect as a life partner is surely not a good option. Architects have done wonders but here lies a dark truth of this profession, Wait has got the prosperity. Your Architect partner would definitely be very passionate about their profession, moreover you will notice them sometimes working over-time, they would take it anywhere to accomplish what they desire, but money on a whole won't come so early.
Cogitation
Architecture with its concealed powers teaches how to be very reasonable and have the convincing factor within ourselves. Talks or Interpretations which are done in a forgery way are very easily understood by Architects as they can figure it out if you are not really convincing. This is because, your Architect partner has solid reasons to explain what he or she has and what not.
Eagerness
Architects definitely hate when someone stops them from wondering. There is this visionary magnetism in every Architect's eye, which can catch anything from anywhere in the world and would continue having further design thoughts and improvements in the appearance of the same. There is this eagerness which lies within your Architect partner, that tempts them to desire about more prepossessing and rational appearance of anything they see.
Positivity fever
This tag might give you a wrong impression but its something different. You might see your Architect partner to be noticing small flaws in what has been said or presented in a wrong way. They might look for better replacements of flaws within themselves and this is how it works for them. Architects posses this habit of improvising again and again.
Dream House
I am sure everyone of us have dreams about our own house and also we have desires of how it will look. I know those with Architects as their life partners are really lucky for the same. As it is said that sometimes Architects forget their own house, similar to the situation where it is said that the shoe keeper's son himself doesn't has a pair of shoes. If you have really admired about your dream house, and if you are looking forward for it to be perfect in every purpose, then congratulations, you've got the right partner !
Passion
Passion, itself has a wide meaning, and Architects would bring it on sweat, tears, and blood, to accomplish their desire. Passion doesn't possess a particular definition or existence, it is how it is adapted. And so Architects posses a different style for it. Imagine the cozy weather and the romantic bed time but your Architect partner is busy working. Congrats again (sarcastically) but yeah, only an Architect knows this shit. It might be boring and lengthy for others but for Architects its always fiery and inspiring.
Coffee lovers
From college days to our work-at-home, from studios to workstations, from NASA works to the freelancing. Coffee has always been a helper, guiding agent, a booster for ideas. Believe it or not every Architect has been in love with coffee, not only because it tastes good but also because that's a real inspiring agent while we are working late at night. So surely, you should just get up and make a cup of coffee whenever your Architect partner is working late.
Good in Actions
I know what comes to your mind after this tagline. But, just imagine your child's project done with proper presentation and corrections. Architects are good in hand actions, anything which is considered to be waste and is supposed to be thrown in bin, they would even know how to  re-use or re-form it in such a way that it can be used again. They know how to sustain, because its not only buildings, but we even need sustainability inside our house. Imagine the quick decoration of your house, done by your Architect partner which is easy to maintain and remove.
Learner
Architects are always hungry for learning. They will never be fully satisfied and will always look for improvements and advancements in whatever they had done before. Moreover you would also come across the time when your Architect partner is doing his or her Ph.D in their 30's, because its never the end for them. Learning would never come to an end for us, because this is how we even design, with a never ending perspective of ideas for betterment and superiority.
