Among the
practitioners of civil engineering is no longer a secret, if the work of civil
engineering engineers is always imagined by an architect. It is no secret that
civil engineers often deal with the law if there is a building failure. Whether
it is a failure that causes a loss of life or just because there are some
differences in perception. Architect, Engineer who designs buildings by
thinking about the beauty, comfort, aesthetics and sustainability of the
occupants' health. Whereas civilians, as implementers will think about how to
make the architect's design be realized in a robust, safe and economical
manner.
So that it is easier
to understand, we are analogous to kites. There are many forms of kite, fish
shape in the form of birds, dragons and various other forms. Well, here is the
role of the architect, designing how the shape is good and interesting. While the civilians
will think about how to make and make the kite, for example the architect made
a kite design in the form of a fish. Civil scholars will think where the
reinforcement will be placed, how many reinforcement is needed. How much is the
reinforcement. What plastic material is sturdy and durable. What is the cost of
each material. Which material is the most economical but still has the best
quality.
Finally, become a
good kite. And if people see it, they certainly praise the good and interesting
design. Who designed it? Then surely the dominant architect has a good name and
is praised. Then what if the kite is broken? Especially when flying? Surely
people will ask, how can it break? How come it's torn? What ingredients are
used? Who planned it? Automatic name of a civil engineer who is immediately
sought if there is a failure. From the above analogy, it is clear which is the
most popular among Civil Engineering and Architects in the eyes of the public.
And also many events on the field that often lead to conflicts between civil
engineering and architects. Even though in fact both of them have major
contributions in development. In fact, we often hear civilians say, without
civil undergraduate architects can build, even though the building is not good
in the eyes but can still be inhabited and safe. If the architect builds
without Civil, surely the building will be over cost. Because the architect
will make a great safety value. Which should be enough 20x20 beams made into
35x35 if the structure is simple. What if the building is magnificent and the
design is different from the others? The discussion was a bit deviant,
"back to the laptop" the initial topic meant. The problem of
popularity, Architects do have little more value than civil engineering. This
is because what we have analogized earlier. This is also because the architect
is more focused on building problems, the main thing is always related to
buildings, houses and other buildings such as dams. Meanwhile, civilian
scholars are not always related to buildings or houses. But it has a very broad
scope. From rivers, irrigation, drainage ports, development of wetlands,
asphalt, hydraulics. Concrete technology, soil mechanics for foundation and
others. So in the eyes of the layman if discussing a building is more identical
to the architect.
If it is simplified
very very simply it will be more or less like this,! "The earth is
round, but the round is not necessarily the earth." Field space The
architect's work must also be a Civil workspace. While the space / civil
dimension is not necessarily the space / dimension of the architect's work.
Because where there is an issue about the architect, it will discuss the
building. So in the eyes of the general public, the building is identical to
the Architect. The grandeur of world building will increasingly make Architects
more global. That way, will civilian practitioners be jealous? Hurt the
architect? No. If there is a good car, it is only natural that the car brand is
famous and good in the eyes of the public. For example Toyota, which focuses on
making car products. Naturally, if people talk about cars will talk about
Toyota. While spare parts could be other brands. For example the Nissin brand
disc. When talking about Toyota, it is definitely talking about the car. But if
you talk about nissin not necessarily talking about the car. Because nissin is
also widely used on motorbikes and other products.
