      Well it's not like architects can do anything else. They are just engineers but without any important knowledge. Besides no matter how much an architect claims to influence builds, it's going to be an ugly white cookie cutter building with or without an architect. The only important variable is the engineers, architects aren't like they were 100 years ago where they had amazing stone carvings, actually well made buildings and basically carried the theme of a town.

      @@tylerpeterson4726 That's a rather broad view of it though. There is precedent against it. In filmmaking, establishing shots need no permission to film anything so long as they're filming from a public place. One could film the outside of the building without permission. The same could apply here. It could be reasonably argued that they are just recreating filmed or photographed material on another medium, with THE GAME'S CAMERA.

I first didnt belive my father when he told me architects can be a real bitch, next thing i know we made holes and holdings for copper pipes preapering to set them in when middle man comest saying "Sir architect (no shit called him that), didnt like the design and the location of the outdoor AC units so he asks them to be moved, he will send you a new draft soon." to which im suprised because the pipes COULDNT GO anywhere else other where we prepared to put them aalong with the AC units. Long story short he was a bitch that never left his home, didnt talk to anybody besides the middle man, and because of his education though he ate the world.

    • @kidakvls2305

      Ultimately the owner determines if it should be moved, esp if the AC units’ desired location is not in their original contractual document that was bid on. Even if it was, the Owner has every right to accept non-conforming work as long as it is to code. But often times Owners hand their power to the architect because they either don’t understand their own role, or they are push overs.

    Having one of your buildings immortalised in minecraft would be one of crown acheivements if I was an architect. Not only would my mark on the world exist in the form of a building existing out there in the wild, but that very existence is further acknowledged by its existence in a computerised depiction if the world further hammering home that point that something of me will be left behind when I die. How can they not be flattered. I dunno

    The problem is, that copyrighted buildings are often only covered in a few different ways. Readily found in public view buildings might have a copyright but only enforced or claimed in the event that someone tries to build a building themselves in the world that copies that architecture. Pictures, artistic representations, etc even in commercial use settings, aren't covered unless it's used to build another version.

    Considering the fact that there are numerous architects, architecture students and people looking to become architecture students (including myself), who found out their love for architectural satisfaction by building in Minecraft through all that their creative minds could think of, without hitting paywall after paywall and be faced with the prospect of building entire workstations, I'd say a lot of architects these days would be honored to find their own designs replicated in Minecraft, where they, themselves, started. I certainly would.

      im in school to become a architect, got another solid 4 more years, were chilling, ill figure it out. but seriously, minecraft is still huge with architecture. look at all the programs we use to design and build the floor plans and buildings themselves, minecraft is actually huge just being able to brain storm, see your idea in person, how lighting, basic thing interact with a minecraft build, can easily cross over into building real structures if that makes sense. rant over

    I can almost guarantee that this copyright law was put into place to prevent architects from stealing building designs from other architects. Example being an architect builds a building in NYC, another architect can’t take the design and make a complete copy of said building in LA. I don’t think the lawmakers in 1990 were writing this law intending to prevent people playing cube game from having fun.
