Welcome to the blog of Chris Kryzanek Architect. This blog aims to break down the architectural process and hopefully remove any misconception or mystery about what it’s like to work with an architect.
First off, let’s clarify who an architect is. The architect is a licensed professional with a specifically defined legal standing and typically, a mandated role in construction.
The primary interaction in the process is between the architect and the client. In architecture, the client and architect work closely together during the programming phase (architecture jargon), when they work out the client’s specific design requirements. The program’s shape is refined during the schematic and design development phases (more jargon). During the process of document production, details of the project are defined and refined. Throughout construction, the process is defined by dealing with the eventual foreseen and unforeseen.
The previous summary of the process is the 30,000-foot view. Through this blog, we will dive deeper to get a look at the multitude of steps on a typical project. Another way to phrase it is “What to expect when you work with Chris Kryzanek Architect.”
