    Can some one explain to me what the difference between an architect and architect technician is?
    Should they cost the same for the same service.

    thanks

    See here (2 threads above yours on front page) for what an AT is and what they do.

    now don't all shoot me at once:) but IMHO one is trained to be more technical than design orientated, but personally I feel this is 3d concept design and not layout design. The technical has become as relevant in recent years, as we strive for a low energy built environment.

    As 'form follows function' the role of an architectural technician is an important one, in trying to maximise occupancy comfort often on a limited budget. This IMHO relevant for 95% of the public that are building/living in domestic dwellings. I'm totally biased here as an AT, but to sum-up the difference's: an AT's work might be seen in http://constructireland.ie/ while the traditional Irish architect might be seen in http://architectureireland.ie/ both legitimate in their own right but maybe striving for a different form of innovation.
    5% of the public can dream of having their building in AI but the rest can certainly learn a thing or two from both architects and architectural technicians that are reviewed in the likes of CI
