ARCHITECTS AND BUILDINGS ARE LIKE BESTFRIEND..BUILDINGS EXISTS THROUGH THE DESIGNS FROM ARCHITECTS..NOWADAYS,THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF BUILDINGS WHOLE OVER THE WORLD..WHO CREATE THEM?????
YES,YOU ARE RIGHT..ARCHITECT IS THE ANSWER..
''Building requires preservation and maintenance of buildings of the past, which have historical and architectural significance. It is a process which leads to the prolongation of the life of cultural property and for its utilization now and in the future.
Building conservation has long been of concern, although its popular applications is relatively recent in origin. In Malaysia, the practice of building conservation is considered new in the local architectural scene. In the past few years, many historic buildings have been preserved and conserved while others have been converted to become premises for a bank, restaurant, information centre or a printing office.
Before practising building conservation, one including an architect, building contractor, planner or anyone who has the interest in saving an historic building must have a broad understanding of the field itself. This is of course to ensure that any action carried out during the conservation work is properly performed and is in accord not only with the building requirements but is within the scope of contemporary knowledge of the subject. The main purpose of this paper is to study the common problems of historic buildings in Malaysia and proportion of building conditions. This includes a discussion on building materials and their common problems or defects mainly of timber, stone, brick and plaster.''
THESE IS WHAT Dr A. GHAFAR AHMAD SAID ABOUT THE BUILDINGS IN ARCHITECTURE..
what can i conclude about what he said was that architects are mainly a carieer of designing a building and without architect,building will exists but not in professional way..

HOLISM IN ARCHITECTURE..
HOLISM?WHAT IS THE DEFINITION?WHAT IS THE MEANING IN ARCHITECTURE CONTEXT?
I GOT A TASK FROM MY LECTURE,MR FIRDAUS TO SEARCH AND STUDY ABOUT HOLISM IN ARCHITECTURE,SO,HERE IT IS..(^_^)
The definition of holism is
''The view that the whole is more than its parts. In earlier geographies, the region has been seen as having a distinct identity which does not come entirely from its separate parts. A holist looks at the workings of concepts like ‘culture’ or ‘society’ rather than the workings of individuals.''
In architectural context
''Architecture and industrial design are often seen as enterprises, which constitute a whole, or to put it another way, design is often argued to be an holistic enterprise.In architecture and industrial design holism tends to imply an all-inclusive design perspective, which is often regarded as somewhat exclusive to the two design professions. Holism is often considered as something that sets architects and industrial designers apart from other professions that participate in design projects. This view is supported and advocated by practising designers and design scholars alike, who often argue that architecture and industrial design have a distinct holistic character.''
ACTUALLY EVERYONE,THERE ARE MANY ANSWERS ABOUT WHAT HOLISM IN ARCHITECTURE IS BUT WHAT I WROTE HERE IS THE EASY ANSWERS FOR U TO UNDERSTAND..

What is the connection between 'architect' and 'architecture'??
ARCHITECT?ARCHITECTURE?ARE THEY SIMILAR TO EACH OTHER?WHAT IS THE DIFFERENTS?WHAT IS THE CONNECTION?COULD ONE SURVIVE IF THE OTHER DIDN'T EXISTS?
I think both depends on each other.Without architecture,architect's won't exist till today..
''An architect must thoroughly understand the building and operational codes to which his or her design must conform, so that he or she is not apt to omit any necessary requirements, or produce improper, conflicting, ambiguous, or confusing requirements. Architects must also understand the various methods available to the builder for building the client's structure, so that he or she can negotiate with the client to produce a best possible compromise of the results desired within explicit cost and time boundaries.
The idea of what constitutes a result desired varies among architects, as the architectural design values which underlie modern architecture differ both between the schools of thought which influence architecture and between individual practising architects.''
''The term architecture can be used to mean a process, a profession or documentation.As a process, architecture is the activity of designing and construction buildings and other physical structures by a person or a machine,primarily done to provide socially purposeful shelter. A wider definition often includes the design of the total built environment, from the macro level of how a building integrates with its surrounding man made landscape to the micro level of architectural or construction details and, sometimes,furniture. Wider still, architecture is the activity of designing any kind of system.As a profession, architecture is the role of those persons or machines providing architectural services.
As documentation, usually based on drawings, architecture defines the structure and behaviour of a building or any other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.
Architects have as their primary object providing for the spatial and shelter needs of people in groups of some kind by the creative organisation of materials and components in a land or city scape, dealing with mass, space, form,volume,texture,structure,light,shadow,materials,program,and pragmatic elements such as cost, construction limitations and technology, to achieve an end which is functional, economical, practical and often with artistic and aesthetic aspects. This distinguishes architecture from engineering design, which has as its primary object the creative manipulation of materials and forms using mathematical and scientific principles.''
WHAT I LEARNED FROM THE ABOVE SENTENCES WAS THAT BOTH ARCHITECT AND ARCHITECTURE REALLY DEPENDS ON EACH OTHER.ARCHITECT IS NOT A MACHINE THAT COULD JUST DESIGN AND CREATE SOMETHING WITHOUT THE HELP FROM ARCHITECTURE.ARCHITECT MUST STUDY THE ARCHITECTURE BEFORE THEY MASTER THE ARCHITECTURE SKILLS.ARCHITECT IS ONE OF THE PROFESSIONAL PROFESSION THAT EXISTS NOWADAYS.SO,THIS CARIEER WAS NOT A JOKE TO BE MADE BECAUSE ARCHITECTS DESIGN THE PLACE TO BE NICER AND PROVIDES COMFORT TO HUMAN BEING,ANIMALS,INSECTS AND GREENERY SURROUNDINGS.

Architect?where does the phrase come from?
DOES EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT IS ARCHITECT?INDEED IF U KNOW?WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?I KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY ANSWERS FORM THOUSANDS OF SOURCES..I STUDY ABOUT IT AND FOUND THE ANSWERS IN THE INTERNET SOURCE..THIS IS WHAT IT SAID ABOUT ARCHITECT..
"An architect is a person who is involved in the PLANNING,DESIGN, and oversight of a BUILDING'S CONSTRUCTION. The word "architect" comes from Latin architectus, which in turn derives from Greek arkhitekton (arkhi, chief + tekton, builder). In its broadest sense, an architect is a person who translates a user's requirements into a built environment.
Architects must frequently make professional decisions that affect the safety and well being of the general public. Architects are required to obtain specialized education and experience to obtain a license to practice architecture, similar to the requirements for other professionals. The requirements for practice vary from place to place.
The words "architect" and "architecture" are also used by professionals in other engineering like disciplines, notably by software architect."
Well,i think that architect is a designer that focus it's professionality in creating a place and scenery.Those designs give hundreds of benefits to human being.I LOVE AND ADORE ARCHITECTS WORK!!
