Sorry guys, as I said in the other post, I was wrong. I made an assumption and it was incorrect. Patrick is not an architect. He is still ultra talented though.

For those who did not see my reply I am adding it here too because people really need to be careful of who they are hiring to do there projects and having a degree and a license or certification holds people more accountable for their actions.

Please also ask Patrick where he attend college, you will find that he didn't even get any kind of education past a high school diploma. This may not be important to you, but if I'm going to hire someone to do something like design a structure, they better have some kind of education in it as well as be held accountable in some form by having a license or some sort of certification. If you would take "talent" over a "designation" then I'd sure hate to see who your doctor, lawyer,or so called architect is because that means they never even got an education in the field.

Are you saying I'm lying?

As far as I know, Patrick Berrios is an Architect. This might be an assumption on my part, but he has participated in quite a few AIA events including this past sand castle competition this summer.

Regardless, he is extremely talented. I would take talent over a designation any day.

Mr. Berrios is not an architect, he didn't even go to college. I know this for a fact. It is against the law for an unlicensed person to call themselves an "Architect" and that is why his company is called a "design" firm. It takes a lot of time and enegry for those who go through college and become a registered Architect, please do not lie on this forum about those firms who one day decided to open up shop and call themselves whatever they want. I agree with Mr. Bruno people should go to the Texas sate board of Architects website to get a list of real Architects. There is even a board for certified designers and he is also not certified there either. Thank you.

For real Architects that are licensed please visit the AIA website (www.aia.org). Please note that the companies listed above are not licensed Architects, may not even hold a degree in Architecture or design (i.e. Patrick Berrios Designs) and it is illegal for anyone who is not a licensed registered architect to call themselves an "architect".
