how can I be a good architect?

one reason reason why certain archticets are step above the rest is because they have mastered the art of drawing..its really rare to find an architect who can draw and portray their work really well.\n\nObviously, most things are done on the computer now, so you need to have a really good understanding of autocad. \n\nAbove all, you need to be original and unique in your ideas- dont be scared to be different. The best design is one that blends well with the surrounding environnment, has a unique modern streak- but can still stand the test of time..not easy!

I’m in the same situation as you are, I know its hard, and we have less of a chance than any one. But there are a lot of academic scholarships out there. You can also look for ones based on the field you want to study. I know here (texas) there are scholarships through the state to become architects and the like, but you must work for the state for the first few years after you graduate. There are many others like that too, try looking into internships over the summer, that always helps.

well u definitely need to know physics to be doing architecture... i mean, if u seriously wanna make biuldings n all then how will u manage if u don't know anything abt newton's laws, force, tension, elasticity n what not.... check out this link for more details:\nhttp://learning.indiatimes.com/career/car_options/arch/arch.htm

practise makes perfect. Make designing and scripting your daily activity. Practise more of it. visit forums, learn more, buy books, see different websits, study them, and do your own. I hope you will master one day.

it depends on your field in engineering , civil  engineer? architectural engineer ? electrical mechanical ...etc. .... try to find out sites in concern to your interests , articles , images , be up-to-date always , it's amazing to know the latest technelogoy in your field you will be even better than your doctors or colleagues ... try to think in different ways and be creative  , ask yourself how can i do something they will love for a long time , use simple solutions for complex problems initially before thinking of complex solution ,,,,, and , be a self-confidant ,,, good luck

I work for an architectural firm.  Many architects are now a little jaundiced about recommending that students get into the field.  They think that 6 years of higher education could be better spent elsewhere for more pay.  (They would like "more bang for the buck" spent on schooling and continuing education.)  You can't become an architect without a master's degree and continuing education.\n\nBut if you would REALLY like to pursue it, clean up your spelling and find an architectural school.  Clemson University in the south has a great program.  Interviewing architects in your area may give you a better idea of what you need to do.  People don't usually mind talking about themselves and/or their work.\n\nCheck out the AIA (American Institute of Architects) website.

Show respect!  Ask good questions.  Don't go overboard throwing your knowledge around trying to impress anyone; you'll come across as an arrogant little know-it-all.  That doesn't mean you can't have opinions; just remember that they (probably) all have a similar level of education, and experience on top of that.\n\nThe mechanics of design are, of course, important; but much of the real world revolves around relationships.\n\nOh, and VERY IMPORTANT:  Proofread yourself!  Spelling, grammar and (in your question) punctuation errors make a very bad first impression!

There is no short cut methods for success. taking  your age into consideration you must devote to your future building plans dedicately. Academic education in one way a prime requisite for any job opportunities. instead of building castles in the air you must be steadfast in your approach. there is no strict rules a particular qualification will deliver the same opportunity to one and all.  any successful man would have a deliberate pursuit left behind. value the suggestion of elders. keep confidence  work hard.

To be a good graphic designer what you really need is a good eye for design. This you must have.\n\nBut you will need technical skills as well. A graphic designer these days needs skill in at least these programs:\n\nPhotoshop\nAdobe Illustrator\nQuark XPress\nAdobe InDesign\nMacromedia DreamWeaver MX

Well you gotta read a lot, program a lot and think a lot. You have to think in an orderly, sequential manner. You must be able to break down every problem into smaller and smaller pieces, and get to the root of the problem. You must be able to think clearly all the time. Good communication skills are an advantage so that you can interact with and fully understand the needs of users. You need to be able to see things from the users' perspective, to fit in their shoes. You need to be patient too, coz not all programs will be running as soon as you want them too. You need to be meticulous with your work and to be well organized. You need to research continually and to be open-minded. If you have faith in yourself, you can go really far.

Basically, achitectural engineers design and guide the construction of buildings, bridges, monuments, etc. to function properly, withstand natural forces, and be asthetically pleasing. Teams of engineers, architects, and support staff  work together to accomplish this task.\nThis is a lofty goal you have set for yourself. If you are detemined enough, I know you can do it. Best wishes and Go Owls!!!

The answers given above are both good. \n\nYou should note that there are many ways to work in the field. If you want to be a licensed architect, you will need a four year degree and pass a state examination. This will allow you to sign off as an architect on drawings. Many firms allow drafters and junior designers to do extensive design work, which is then checked and signed off on by licensed architects. Pay scales then reflect liability.  \n\nIf you do an associates program in drafting, try and take a few extra courses on construction management, building materials, welding, inspections, and/or surveying. The more experience you have in the building field, the better off you'll be.  Working for a contractor is great experience too. Make sure you've gotten your hands dirty (just make sure you wash 'em off before you interview).\n\nYou should also look into the market around your area.  Has your city been growing significantly? Check craigslist for current openings. Riding in on a building boom tends to help.\n\nGood luck

I am studing electrical. i f i were u i will do Civil. A friend of mine did architecture and is finding it difficul to get a job. The reason is there is so much CAD/ drawing program available and easy to learn. A company could buy Auto cad and train someone to use it.\nCivil has a lot of money if your are in the right location, like Florida for eg.\ngood luck.
