Question:

Answers:
1. Vision.
2. Drawing.
3. Tenaciousness.
graphing. and being good in math.
The ability to work the damn computer.
Good sense of spatial concepts...have a feeling for dimension, perspective, materials...and a good grasp of construction, not just "artistic design". Know about what holds buildings up [soil properties, steel, concrete], know how a building is put together, understand physical principles and properties of materials. And, above all, be willing to work as a lowly grunt in someone's drafting room while you learn the business end - client relations, contracts, coping with building inspectors. Courses in drawing, drafting, schematic presentations [also called 'renderings' - the pretty stuff you show to clients] and even model-building!

The late great Frank Lloyd Wright put it best when he said, "No one should be an architect if they could be anything else." The good ones, the great ones, couldn't have been other than architects...willing to go thru years of study, lowly jobs and, yes, hope.just to stand in front of something they designed, the contractor built, and their client will occupy for years. Nothing beats that in the way of sheer reward.
