Also, the architect deals with a client or a group of clients, while the urban planner work for the whole city. The architects need to know about materials, shapes, ventilation, illumination, structure and the technological advances, the urban planner need to knows about the traffic, flows, economy, and more ambits that are involved in their work scale. //** After today's reading, how do you feel about your future profession? **// I feel I made the right choice, and I know that I have a long way to go, full of new challenges, new knowledge and a lot of doors that I’m going to try open.
