Hi.

My name is Hayley.

I am an architectural technician and I am based out of Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

We do a range of things from project visits and field measuring to drafting, modeling and 3D and 2D, creating hand sketches.

Drafting is dimension ING plans, drawing plans.

In 2D we do building elevations.

So seeing the whole building flat from the front, we do floor plans.

We also draw in like door schedules where the doors go, what the sizes are.

AutoCAD is well, it is now a 2D and 3D software because you can use AutoCAD in 3D, but basically you can draw plans with different line types, different line weights.

We do dashed line solid lines and in different colors so that when they print out in black and white, the lines look different and make more sense to a contractor for what they need to do.

My name is Tony Vasco.

I'm an architect that's based in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.

An architect is a creator.

We take a client's ideas and put them into real buildings, real structures.

And we want to make those buildings comfortable, exciting, creative, if possible.

And that's that's really the fun part of the architecture element.

The initial client contact is someone who calls me and may be a little confused.

They're not sure what to ask.

So we try to get a program of what needs to be designed in and outside the building.

And as we develop the design, we're looking for an approval from from the owner.

And once he approves that, then we begin to do the actual contract documents or the working drawings, the drawings that the contractor is going to be able to build the building from the general contractor.

Then we'll take those drawings to be able to build the project.

So throughout the entire process, there's a relationship of the contractor, the owner and the architect.

And the goal is to have this project complete, successful.

Everybody is happy and everybody walks away and the owner moves into their new space and hopefully everything works without a hitch .

Architecture is very important.

Humans spend 87% of their lives in buildings.

So as an architect, we want to make these buildings enjoyable for other people and ourselves and just make the world a happier, brighter, more beautiful place.

This career in architecture is something that I always wanted to do as a young boy.

So really my dreams were fulfilled.

And for the most part, it's very enjoyable and very satisfying.

Knowing what we're creating, we are creating structures that may stand the test of time for years, long after I have departed this earth.
