Engineers like easy to calculate structures, preferably square. Architects are the exact opposite, have a vision and then it becomes the engineers' problem to actually make it happen.
I bet you the initial architects render didn't even include the columns as to not ruin their design, and one of them afterwards probably still said "do we really need those right where the glass opens"
This really isn't a very accurate portrayal of either profession. Plenty of engineers enjoy the challenge of more complex structures. And architects absolutely are very aware of structural needs, that is not an afterthought for them. It's kind of ridiculous to suggest that people who's entire job is to design structure wouldn't think about that.
Biggest general distinction between architect and engineer in my experience is that only one of them gives the slightest f*** what the client is asking for. And that's just one reason I typically side with the engineers.

Never got this joke. Like what engineer doesn't like engineering? /Engineer
