What Is An Architect?

Before I start explaining how to become an Architect, I will first mention who they are.
Architects are responsible for designing the plans to build buildings. They can design anything from a house to a large hospital, and anything in between.

An Architect starts with an idea and then draws it on paper. By projecting the idea onto paper they have then created floor plans of the building. The floor plan then as to be approved. Someone, such as the owner of the house being built, will approve it. It is not as simple as it seems, it may takes months to get correct. They also have to be aware of anything hazardous to the way it could be built.

After the floor plans are approved the Architect doesn't stop there. They keep visiting the job site to make sure the building is build correctly. When its done being built they can relax. Many Architects are involved with more than one building at a time. Architecture can be a very time consuming career.
