An Architect Visit

Have you met an architect?
On Thursday we had an opportunity to meet an architect Hermas Lilleorg.
Students wanted to know why he became an architect?
He said that when he was a child he liked drawing houses and building with blocks. He knew already then that when he grows up he will be an architect. He said that his ideas just come to his head. Architects are creative.
Usually the client tells him what kind of house he would like to have. Then he thinks and starts to design the house/draw the plans. He uses the computer program called ArchiCAD 14. Students can use the same program at home if they want to try how to design the houses.
When he is designing the house he needs to think about the location of the house and what materials would be good. He consults with an engineer about the construction to make sure that the house is strong. Once he is finished with the plans then the builders start to build the house. In Estonia people use concrete, wood and bricks as building materials.
Thank you for the visit Hermas!
