Architect professional vision - FDArchitects - 03-11-2014

The profession is in need of vision in order to chart a course forward. We do not always achieve our visions. We do not always share the same vision. Yet, if there are no visions to consider, we risk stagnation."

--Louis B. Smith, Jr., AIA, Vice-Chair of the AIA Small Project Practitioners Advisory Group and member of the 2006 ArchVoices Essay Competition Jury

Architects represent a form of professional and knowledge-intensive work that includes both abstract categories such as style and design (‘form’) and material categories (‘matter’). Thus, professional vision is midway between, but also capable of integrating and co-aligning, abstract/intangible and concrete/material knowledge.

The professional vision of the practicing architect is never fully integrated or coherent but must be subject to constant modifications and joint adjustments.

In architectural work, professional expertise largely centres on the visual capacities of the architect, his or her ability to extract useful information and communicate objectives and ideas on the basis of visual artifacts. However, this professional vision must always be double in terms of alternating between professional and non-professional ways of seeing.

The practicing architects are highly aware of the social role of their profession and the fact that there are a number of routines and mechanisms instituted by the firm which help the architect, newcomers as well as the more seasoned members of that community, to bridge and combine these two elements of their professional vision. Originality/value – The study suggests that professional vision is a key term when examining visually-oriented professions.
