  1. I am a graduated Mechanical Engineer ( 93 , US University Degree ), and because I can apreciate good architecture practices , I don’t go about diminishing the importance of their work as you just done. Taking away “ glorified interior decorators “ , architectural work towards building structures is complex and multi faceted. The structural calculations and site inspections might be carried through a Professional Engineer ( usually a Civil Engineer ), and yet Architects are trained well enough to understand a building’s structural design requirements, so they can incorporate them into the master project. Mechanical Engineers might only come in through HVAC installs and dimensioning , at best. Architects are often tasked to follow through on site with the project development to make sure what went into the design stage is implemented, be it aesthetics or funcional . An important trait seen in well trained Architect is the Aesthetic eye , which is a lifelong ever in development skill. That is the art component in the trade. No school , software , can teach you that , and most certainly no Engineer can attain this. Enginneers carry their pocket calculators. Architects carry their sketch pads and Pencil.

  2.  @wrecklessgarage5058  Yes, electrical and structural designs, and project follow through are under the thumb of electrical and civil engineers. Mechanical HVAC systems are under the signature of mechanical engineer. Architectural designs, blue prints , facades , and architectural details are the sole domain of architects. Engineers are a disaster on these specialties. They could no produce anything of appeal or comfort if their lives depended upon their “ expertise “.

  3. Stackable containers are storage. Not living structures.
