| − | When building structures that require architecture, it is the architect who carries the building materials to the site and clears it of debris. The architect's time spent on each building can be minimized by placing appropriate [[stockpiles]] near the selected location and by designating debris for [[dump]]ing in advance. The building is then built in two stages: the first performed by the architect, and 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 [[block]]s).

| |
| − | | |
| − | Building designer skill influences the [[quality]] of "designed" buildings (those listed below). The total quality of the building is determined by the skill of the architect ''and'' the skill of the builder (mason/etc.). The game assigns two values that can be viewed with the [[building list]]. When determining the overall value of the building, these two values are simply added together to form an overall value multiplier ranging from 2 to 24. | |
| − | | |
| − | Buildings that do not involve an architect do not have any quality (aside from "built" [[furniture]] -- tables, statues, doors, etc.).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Building quality has only two effects in-game: high-quality buildings can occasionally trigger a happy [[thought]] in dwarves who notice them, and higher-quality buildings will boost your fort's overall architectural wealth (as displayed in the "created wealth" section of the [[status]] screen). The first effect can also be achieved by liberally installing high-quality furniture, however, and the second effect is minimal unless you make your buildings out of high-value materials (such as [[platinum]] or [[artifact]] components).

| − | Destroying a masterwork structure (whether via [[cave-in]] or [[building destroyer]]) will give an unhappy [[thought]] to its designer and/or builder (depending on whether the design or construction are masterful), though dismantling it will not.

| |
| − | The fastest way to train this skill is to designate a large quantity of [[support]]s or [[archery target]]s for construction in a freshly mined room (that is, still filled with stones) and use [[burrow]] restrictions (or a locked door) to prevent any Masons from entering the room - the architect will pick up each stone, design the building, and then move on to the next one. Since the buildings never actually get constructed, removing them takes no time, allowing downtime to be minimized. Be certain to enable each trainee's Architecture labor using View (v) > Preferences (p) > Labor (l) > Other Jobs.

| This page refers to a Dwarf Fortress feature that no longer exists in v50.14. To see this page as it existed in previous versions, use the versioned links above. |
The Building Designer skill, originally enabled via the Architecture labor and associated with the Architect profession, no longer exists in this version of Dwarf Fortress.
In prior versions, it was used when making certain types of buildings, where higher skill levels would further increase the building's value by boosting its "design quality", a value which was distinct from the "construction quality" that remains.
