Is there an architectural field that doesn't involve too much math?
I want to be an architect or something along the lines of that. I'm a great artist, and especially like creating master plans but also enjoy floorplans and facades. I'm not too good at math and personally its my least favorite subject. Is there a field of architecture where you can create a design but don't do too much math?

- "Is there an architectural field that doesn't involve too much math?" Well, sort of, but you can't get there from here. If you are a big name architect, you have others (engineers, accountants etc.) do the math for you, but you are unlikely to get to that point with out knowing the math needed to get a degree. I suppose a draftsman / illustrator doesn't require "too much math", but you'd be drawing other peoples designs. I imagine it is possible that if you were really good, eventually your superiors (with the architecture degrees) might allow you to present some ideas, but you be better of if you could could get a degree in architecture yourself. I'd imagine that there is less emphasis on math in architecture than say, structural engineering, but you'll have to be at least competent.
- Architecture does not require that much math at all. At CSU Pomona, architect majors are only required to take Trigonometry. That's really basic math you should know anyways. Architects are usaully there for the artistic aspect of the buildings. Although they need some insight on structure safety, building codes...etc, they do not require that much math. That part is for the Civil Engineers to handle.
