You Need to be mentally ready to avail of architecture services online #010

Image
How many people in our profession in architecture are completely prepared to provide architectural services online? or Are those taking up architecture services mentally prepared to avail of online architectural services? Both these questions are very important because the success and failure of the online architecture profession depends on what efforts are being made to make the architecture profession online and the way it is being implemented. To the best of their ability, who have converted all their architecture services to online services or are going to convert themselves into online service providers, what are the problems faced by such architects or architect’s offices after modifying the services online and what do patrons expect from them?

  Side effects in the architecture profession since the time of the Covid-19 pandemic No new projects came into our venture during COVID-19. The projects that came are waiting for a COVID-free environment or just enquiring or coming for small work which cannot be counted in the project or earned anything from them. Our main customers are middle-class businessmen, self-employed or employed people. First of all, let’s talk about businessmen – during Covid 19 there are some people whose income has not made any difference. Their projects can start anytime. We depend on them.

Coming to the second category of self-employed pe...

  Nature is the seed of architecture. If the design of your building is following the natural balance then an architect may have designed your building. The five great and natural elements “sky, air, fire, water, and earth” are included in the building according to the directions. This can be possible only by an architect. The balance of the five noble and natural elements is essential in every building. This is a simple secret to a happy life in any building. The imbalance of the five great and natural elements in any building can cause us financial, physical, and mental suffering; these sufferings are a warning that we ignore at our convenience. Everyone must check the balance of these five noble and natural elements in their building. For this, you can take the advice of an expert. If experts recommend some changes, then according to the advice of the expert, every possible change should be made in the building; it may be in your interest. Here by expert, we mean architect and ...
