From what I see when I see your descriptions ..... one word :
POMPOUS
-- Pierre Chaker, December 10, 2004
Use one word to describe an architect
I wouldn't call myself pompous and if that is the impression you get than I am sorry if I have mislead you and others to give such an impression.

My input in this particular question is to suggest what an architect should be, is and has been in a word. If it could be ever be expressed in just one word.

I do not participate in Archnet to express my self-importance. I do have something to say and maybe some will and some will not like it but I try my hardest to respect others and their input in this forum.

What you have just done, would be considered unbefitting of decorum edicate but I don't take it like that. I would rather see you use a word to describe an architect than me.

Look at the question.
-- Abdul Basit Mukri, December 10, 2004
Use one word to describe an architect
Come on ! My message wasn't intended for you. Look at all the descriptions, God, Superman, restless and many many others. Just look at them for God's sake ! And tell me they aren't pompous. Unfortunately you are the last one on the list and my message comes just after it.

Pierre,

I apologize for my slight over-reaction.

You are right that some of the words are a stretch to stay the least but if you have a better word than go ahead and use it. Some of the words used by participants are apt and appropiate to the question.

The question doesn't refer to the words the participants have choosen but asks everyone, all users, to describe an architect in their word.

So Pierre, I exhort you : Use one word to describe an architect? Pompous not being one.

These are traditional Islamic(arabic) terms used for the various professions involved in the building process. How much they are used today, well, maybe someone living in the Muslim world is more qualified to answer, if these terms are still used.


al-muhandis al-banna - the architect

al-muhandis - the engineer-architect

al-banna - builder-contractor

at-tayyan - the mason

al-hasib - the mathematician

jassas - plaster decorator

ajurr-tarrash - the brick layer

mi'maruhu - architect

ustadh - master(referred to as the lead architect)



These terms were found in the book: Architecture of the Islamic World; Thames and Hudson

About Courtesan, I not only meant what you explained but also historically. Did you know that Imhotep, Pharaoh's famous Mimar (& mastermind) had to dance before the king to get his pyramids built in Ancient Egypt?

Also the word courtesan means to amuse noble or wealthy men with one's knowledge.

Architects `are sexiest`

Architects have been voted by sexiest male professionals, in survey of women`s ideal partners.

The survey, conducted by introduction agency Drawing Down the Moon, found that women favoured architects “due to the esteem associated with the profession”.

Architects are seen as being “balanced and rounded individuals who combine a creative approach with a caring, thought-ful disposition,” the survey found. It concluded: ”Their ability to cope with pressure of work in a relaxed manner was also deemed to be a significant plus.”

Male architects beat stockbrokers, doctor, film directors and teachers to the top spot.

However, female members of the profession fared less well and did not feature in the top 10 of male preferences.

RIBA president David Rock commented that architects were probably unaware of their own animal magnetism: “Architects are probably the only group on the list whose self-image is lower than their public image,” he said, but added: “Mind you, you have to question the veracity of any list that includes drama teachers.”

RIBA Architecture Gallery director Alicia Pivaro, who is married to architect Paul Monaghan, said she thought male architects were highly attractive: “Being married to architecture`s Mr Sexy, I would have to agree.”

But she was surprised at the failure of women architects to appear on the list. “All the ones I know are very sexy,” she said.

Men instead voted PR executives the sexiest profession for females, followed by actresses and journalists.

'Architect' is the only single word which can describe an architect fully. His creative instincts, managerial skills, passion, love for life, art, music and nature. No other word in the dictionary can contain all the meanings that the word 'architect' holds.

i have read the respone from all of our members, but it is actually very difficult to define an architect in a single word. I would like to complete my opinion through the following poetry:

"bahut mushkil hai apni zindigi ki kahani likhna jase bahtey hue paani main paani likhna"

It is quite a difficult task.

A rough translation would be:

"it's very tough to write the story of life;
it's like trying to write 'water' on running water..."

Please excuse the fact that this translation doesn't have the rhythm and meter of the original!
