− | When building structures that require architecture, it is the architect who carries the building materials to the site and clears it of debris. | + | Its corresponding [[labor]] is '''architecture'''. When building structures that require architecture, it is the architect who carries the building materials to the site and clears it of debris. The building is then built in two stages: the first performed by the architect, the second by a [[mason]] (if the building built from [[stone]], stone [[block]]s, or [[glass]] blocks]]); a [[carpenter]] (if it is built from [[log]]s or wood blocks); or a [[metalsmith]] (if it is built from metal [[bar]]s or blocks). |

− | Building | + | Building a "designed" building grants 30 points of [[experience]] in building designer to the architect and 10 points in mason/carpenter/metalsmith to whoever finishes the structure (this may be the architect as well, if he or she has the appropriate labor enabled). Any of the [[armoring]], [[weaponsmithing]], [[blacksmithing]], or [[metalcrafting]] labors will be used if the building is made of metal, though only metalsmith experience will be granted. |
− | + | The architectural experience will be awarded at the end of the "designing" stage, but the masonry/etc. experience will be awarded when the dwarf ''begins'' the second stage of building, making it possibly the only task in the game where experience is awarded when it is commenced, not when it is completed. | |
− | + | [[Dwarves]] that have high building designer skills can make [[Quality|masterpiece]] structures, which can give dwarves very happy [[thought]]s from admiring the excellently designed buildings. Designed buildings are the only ones that have a quality (aside from "built" furniture -- tables, statues, doors, etc.) Dismantling a masterwork structure will not cause its creator to [[tantrum]]. | |
− | + | A relatively easy way to train a [[dwarf]]'s [[architecture]] skill is to build a lot of [[support]]s and tear them down again. Note that building a support also requires [[masonry]]. If you don't want to involve a [[mason]], you need to cancel the construction of the pillars one by one once they have been designed. | |
