Explanation:
Design is not confined to architecture, for example there are architects in IT designing networks or IT systems... "Chief Architects" is cross-industry term.

head of design


Explanation:
Projekční oddělení se může v angličtině nazývat různě. V zásadě je komické kolik variant vymyslí nerodilí mluvčí. Hlavně mi připadá, že většina návrhů odpovídá hlavnímu projektantovi nebo konstruktérovi. Používání slova "manager" také neodpovídá vedoucímu oddělení...

Chief Constructor


Explanation:
V prípade, že je potrebné rozlíšiť konštruktéra a projektanta, doporučujem použiť pre konštruktéra "constructor" a pre projektanta "designer".

Example sentence(s):
  • A Russian Soyuz spacecraft due to launch in December suffered damage to its container in transit, its chief constructor said Tuesday in the latest hitch to the country's space programme.
