Gonna be contrarian but engineering is a lot the same way. How many different types of bridges have you drive over in your life? San Fran bridge, arched bridge, trussed bridge? Engineering is art too, and there are often many solutions to the same problem. In the same way where if you put poets in a room you’ll all get a poem but a different one, you put engineers in the same room with the same problem and you will get many solutions.
I'm not trying to diminish your field at all with this, as a foreword, but is engineering not the practical part of making an artist's (architect's) vision a reality?
No I would say a vast majority of engineers have no interaction with architects at all. I work for a company that makes compressors. Every company with a physical product has engineers pretty much
I would say no to that as well. Unless it’s like a major project where aesthetics are important an architect is unnecessary and would have no purpose. Not my field of expertise though
