(BTW, from the beginning I want to say sorry, I’m just a teenager, and I don’t want to mock, or offend anyone with this post, I’m sorry if this post was a little bit aggresive, and i’m also sorry that I didn’t do research before posting this post, I respect architects, and I find architecture to be interesting)
So, first of all, architects study many years, and they study things like math, and science, and architecture is considered to be an art by many people, So, what kind of creativity, and knowledge of sciences does building a rectangle(cube) need?
Like, how, architecture can be related to creativity, and now i’m not talking about rectangles, and cubes, i’m talking about building that are usually considered to be an art, like creating a crappy sketch of a strange curvy thing, or round thing, or big thing, or maybe thing with a lot of cubes is considered to be creative, and architects aren’t engineering who will blow their minds out to comprehend how to build that thing, and as i know architects have nothing to do with things like colors, plumbing, air systems, electricity systems, ceiling design, furniture, materials, and etc of a building.
Like they don’t go there and say “this room will be blue, this room will be red, and that room will be yellow, electricity system will be like that, air system will be like that, sofas, and chair will be like that, doors, and stair will be like that, colors will be like that, chandeliers will be like that, toilets, and tiles will be like that, carpets, and curtains will be like that” and etc, they don’t do it(as i know, or is it the opposite, and architect is the one who does all of that?)
and so if everything thing is like that, then why do architects study so many years, and they study things like math, and science, and architecture is considered to be a creative thing(art) and is considered to be very hard? (thanks, for reading my post)

*If you think it’s so easy, why don’t you do it?*
Architects do **FAR** more than “building rectangles”. Pure design (i.e. how a building will look aesthetically from the exterior) is a small portion of an architect’s job scope. They have to plan out the interiors of buildings, how people and goods will flow, where service & mechanical rooms should be located, egress/fire requirements etc. And this is JUST stuff that directly involves the building.
Architects have to plan out schedules and prepare design statements that satisfy their client’s needs & wants, understand local building regulations & codes, work with other professionals such as structural, mechanical & electrical engineers, land surveyors, interior & landscaping designers etc. They also have to manage the finances of a project and how and what resources should be allocated.
As a member of the public, you only see the finished product, not the literal thousands of hours of work across disciplines, involving hundreds of people, to make it a reality.
