The laws of Ancient Greek architect Vitruvius states that architect- archi - main tect - builder must imagine, must plan, must design a building in 3 common properties which are beauty, benefit and durability. So such organizations as Habitat do always need an architect who is able to keep in mind those rules. Good, functional floor plans, good situationaly based basic structure choice often helps to avoid waste. As a student i ve been volunteering in habitat for humanity in Kyrghyzstan an must say to you that this organization is totaly the one which does a real jobs here, not only helping to build but giving long loans for 3-5 years with no percents taken after.

India is a place that has accepted many in history and also holds this culture even today. Laurie Baker, Christopher Charles Benninger are some foreigners who settled in India and practice their Architectural profession here, for the betterment of India. What saddens me is the fact that Architects and Engineers of the Indian origin are more focused and concerned about earning good money and work illegally or without much handwork. qudos to you and others in the comment box who look forward to work for developing nation, someday we may meet each other along our paths towards the same destination.<br /><br />All the best! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11243050169218991810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828128478992305710.post-5050855764697560212012-10-20T14:12:46.502-05:002012-10-20T14:12:46.502-05:00I'm a senior in high school in interested in e...I'm a senior in high school in interested in exactly the same thing!

I am trying to find an organization that I could possibly work for after college, if there is anyone who has information about any of the sites that are listed on this site, can you brief me on them. I know and like the Habitat for Humanity organization, I am just not sure if they are in need of architects as much as they are builders.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13778855040134550986noreply@blogger.com
