What are the requirements to become an architect?

Question

What degrees are needed?

By the way I am in the US

Answer 1

You should have aptitude for forms, imagination, abstract thinking, appreciation of cultures and their philosophy etc.

Your freehand drawing skills, converting thoughts into artistic expressions, a little interest in the general geometry, drawing etc will help.

Start looking at buildings, try to measure and estimate the general sizes of different rooms in a buildings, cinema halls, how they made them, what are the special features of a good and goodlooking buildings.

Conversion of human needs in to an attractive and comfortable living space is architecture.

If you have the liking you can be an architect.
