The way Architects work

Week 2
What I understood from Amily's lecture:-
- difficulties of an architect's life
- transparency
- use of materials
- checking the sturdiness of the materials
- steps needed to get a perfect building

This following picture is something Amily showed us during lecture.
The architect's worst enemy, a flaw in the building.
Architects have to make sure that the buildings they created have to be sturdy under any condition, in rain, in the heat , in the cold and so on.
The life of an architect is not different from that of the constructor's.
Look every corner and check again and again so that there won't be any complains from the residents.

This picture is showing us how the architect checks the glasses they are going to use for constructions. Using this mechanism, they increase the temperature to see whether if the glass is suitable for the buildings or not.
