Architects dream and civil engineers fulfil that dream.
This basically means that architects can design whatever they like, but civil
engineers are the ones that will check if it is possible to execute that design
into reality or not.
Both Civil
Engineering and Architecture are involved in planning and designing
structures. However, Architecture focuses more on the spatial functionality and
aesthetics of the development work and is more concerned with the artistry,
look, feel and functionality of the design, while Civil Engineering
concentrates on the structural elements of the design, making certain that the
structure can endure normal and extreme conditions.
To summarize,
architecture's primary concern is designing the development work while civil
engineering's responsibility is ensuring that the design is implemented in a
safe and reliable manner. Civil engineers and architects may sometimes overlap
each other's work but a good relationship between the two professions will make
the construction job more effective and successful.
Both
Architects and Civil Engineers like Residences, Commercial complex, Public
Buildings etc.
But Civil
Engineering has got more scope beyond this. A Civil Engineer can work in
Bridges, Railway track and Harbour also where an Architect has no work or not
involved.
Architecture
deals with making the floor plans of a building and designing the shape of
the building. Civil Engineering, working on the same building, would
deal with the material used for the building and how to design the
building so it can support its own weight. So there's quite a big
difference there. Architecture is more like arts. Civil Engineering
is more about physics.
