Design Roles within the Company 14.03.2020


Design Roles

Design Director

The design director acts as the internal critic to each of the projects that Element Architecture Studio produces. As well as running on of the three studios, it is their job to ensure that every project that the company produces fits with our philosophies and ethos; liaise with our clients before assigning the project to a studio; assign studios for competitions and to seek new clients and work.

RIBA Directors

Each of the directors that are qualified architects is in charge of a studio, as well as fulfill the other requirements of their role. They are the principle designers on any project that is assigned to their studio, though they may choose to work with another director.

CIAT Directors

The Directors trained as Architectural Technologists, as well as their teams, oversee the technical design and development for each project. They liaise with the design architect for the project to ensure that the technology implemented is aiding the design of the project rather than hindering it. It is also their job to communicate with the various consultants that would be bought in during the design stage, such as the Structural Engineers.

Project Architect

The Project Architect oversees the design from concept to construction. They work closely with the lead design architect and are heavily involved in the design development stage of the project, producing physical and CAD models to test elements of the design and it is them who will produce the technical drawings for the project.

Part 2 Graduate

It is the Part 2’s job to take the technical drawings for the project and use them to create the artistic images that will be used to present the scheme for competition entries and for the clients.

Part 1 Graduate

Fresh out of university, the Part 1 will be encouraged to work with the lead designers so that they can develop their design ethos. Also, they will be trained to use most CAD packages that the company requires for BIM, CAD modelling and drafting.

Matt Kerrod, Design Director.
