• Architect-led_design–build abstract "Before reading, one should understand how complex modern building is undertaken rather than how it used to be done. Each entity(arch., engineer, builder) is separately performed in modern day due to the complexity of modern design, and ultimately due to the endless types of materials used rather than mostly wood or stone stacking like back in the old times. Each material today was engineered individually by endless teams of engineers and so many burdens of complexity are created by the design of efficiency and minimal material use... whereas old construction was much easier due to the bulky oversized wasteful material dimensions that simplified the rigidity of a structure. For example, it is easier to build a rigid structure with large timbers than it is to create a matrix of tiny pieces into a monolithic component of the same size which relies entirely on the builders skill and knowledge of practical construction to create the same rigidity. In other words, the engineers and architects complicate modern construction in trade off for less material cost. It is easier to put a puzzle together in four pieces than it is to construct a puzzle of thousands of pieces. Now consider each of those pieces to be in 3D and composed of hundreds of different materials and fastening points that are supposed to flawlessly bonded together as one monolithic piece. So in reality, it is not that architects used to be builders, but actually that builders used to design their own blue prints of construction. A modern builder has to know the same codes as an architect but he also has to construct them, not just draw them on paper. If you teach auto cad to a builder for one year the builder no longer needs an architect, however if you teach building to an architect for one year he will be as useless as an accountant on the jobsite. It takes many many years of applied science and learning of craftsmanship to become a master-builder, and the materials and methods keep changing due to material engineers trying to be more efficient on paper while leaving the responsibility of the complex structure to the un-glorified builder that is often referred to as a laborer. However, mathematics and drawing remain the same since the beginning of time. It takes years in modern construction to even get past being a greenhorn and actually start the foothills of learning how to build the actual structure rather than just draw it or proof it on calculator. When the builder makes a mistake he is responsible. When an architect makes a mistake, it is the builders responsibility to catch it or the builder will be responsible for constructing the architects mistake. When there is an engineering flaw of building proponents, the builder is responsible for constructing these flaws once again. The builder HAS to know everyone else's job including the subcontractors which he is also responsible for AND has to actually build the structure, all while managing everyone and reviewing the work of the architect for flaws which are extremely common, as well as being responsible for contracts and contract documents, actual time schedule performance regardless of the weather or no-shows of other workers, material loss, etc., and is overall responsible for all parties involved. However, no one else is required to know the actual job of the builder nor take responsibility of his mistakes. Each party ultimately holds a certain amount of liability and responsibility, but ALL results AND performance are ultimately the chief responsibility of the builder. Not the picture drawer or the computer proofer. However, to become an engineer or architect is surely a daunting task, it is not nearly as practical nor responsible as the performance of the actual builder. All three are complex, but all of the complexities and complications created by the day dream designer/doodler aka: architect or the efficiency police aka: engineers are pawned off onto the least respected party involved being the actual builder.To further understand, one might want to research the hierarchy of professional status which was originally designed to allow the elite and those of royalty or clergy to be considered professional, where even medicine and science were not yet considered professions of institutional status (hence guilds). The modern conception of professionalism has only recently began to define the industries in a democratic manor. For a better understanding of why the status of professions have only slightly shifted while the responsibilities of each profession have entirely shifted; you may want to read the following article generated from a large pool of accredited sources. Here is the link:http://www.encyclopedia.com/topic/Professions.aspxThe following is the original article of topic with a lacking practical explanation of the reality of this modern industry.In product manufacturing, the person or company responsible for making the product is usually also its designer. The construction industry is different. In constructing a building or similar structure, the design is usually prepared by an architect, but the construction is usually performed by one or more contractors, who are not affiliated with the architect.It was not always this way. Historically, most construction from the ancient pyramids to the Eiffel Tower was run by the same person who designed the structure. It was not until the twentieth century, primarily in America, that design professionals (architects and engineers) separated themselves from construction contractors and materials vendors, forming separate professional trade organizations, and popularizing methods of construction that promoted separating design from construction. Commonly referred to as the traditional tri-partite method of construction, in which an owner hires an architect to design a building and subsequently hires a construction contractor who is unaffiliated with the architect to construct the building, this approach dominated twentieth century American construction.Design-build construction methods, where the designer and constructor are the same entity or are on the same team rather than being hired separately by the owner, began to make a resurgence in America at the end of the twentieth century. Most of these design-build projects were and are led by the contractor, who hires an architect to design its building, which the contractor then builds for its client, the owner.More recently, some architects have begun to embrace a lead role in the design-build approach. They contract with the owner both to design and to construct a building, and they procure the construction services either by subcontracting to a general contractor or by contracting directly with the various construction trades. Ironically, although the notion of an architect leading a design-build team is considered new and innovative, it is really a return to the construction approach employed for the millennia prior to the twentieth century, in which the architect was the Masterbuilder, rather than merely the designer.The following definition describes, assesses and compares the architect-led design–build (ALDB) process to other, related architectural project delivery methods. It focuses on the architect’s role in each method, and characterizes that role in terms of responsibility. Responsibility is interpreted in terms of how much direct contact with the client (building owner) and how much control over the project the architect has, and how much risk the architect bears. The architect's role and responsibilities may change in function of the geopolitical location of the development and other criteria.This definition of ALDB outlines the broader context of design–build, presenting that as an alternative to the traditional design–bid–build process for making buildings. First, this traditional process is introduced, then the distinct forms of design–build are explained, and from there, the focus narrows to examine specific forms of the architect-led design build method, what distinguishes it, the benefits and limitations, the results that it can achieve.While relevant parties are described here in the masculine or third person (as he or they), these references are for brevity, intended to be inclusive, representing architects, building owners and contractors.".
