Architects are faced with the difficult challenge of defining a client's vision then organizing a multi-disciplined team of professionals to realize it. There are as many approaches to meeting these challenges as there are Architects. Some Architects focus their efforts primarily on design themes and the development of a vision. Other Architects focus on the details of construction necessary to facilitate construction. In some firms, a team of Architects may be assembled to advocate each of these focuses.
A good consultant understands the Architect's working style, focus and objectives and tailors his services accordingly. Frequently, an Architect's approach to the solution of a problem is dictated by the nature and needs of his or her Client. To work in support of an Architect effectively, the structural engineer must understand not only the technical aspects of his or her design, but the key design focus of the architect and the priorities in implementing it.
