Artists and architects conceive of spaces in different ways from other people and from each other, new study finds

All fairness, no architects can't read drawings. Yes they generate but very few architects are fully capable to detail their own projects properly. There has never been a project (and I may have contracted 100+ architects) where I didn't have to ask for more details, better quality drawings and so on. And I'm not even getting into putting the architect and structural engineer together because matching that is hell.

And no very few architects fully document their matters. Far to often they outsource this to third party companies who have the right technical understanding and software for doing so. These technical booklets are highly complex and even myself require sometimes a dozen+ times to find all flaws or questions.

And no, the architect is never allowed to bother with all those matters. Not his business he is a part of the project, certainly not the leader. If you get ever in such position you will be in a big mess.

Again, mind you I may have contracted 100+ architects, run several projects at the same time. Architects are part of the business sure thing but as you do yourself, tend to overvalue themself far to much.
