There are certain qualities you must have to become an architect. I happen to possess some of these qualities. One quality you must have is that you must be very neat in your work. You have to make sure that your drafts are clean, unwrinkled, and smudge-free. If your drafts have erasers marks everywhere and are folded and wrinkled, then you are more likely to make mistakes when actually constructing your drafts. This is one quality that I have. If I erase something I make sure that if you were looking at my draft you would never be able to tell if anything was there. I also keep all my drafts in a folder, that way when I travel from home to work or vise versa, all my papers and drafts are easy to find and undamaged. Another quality you must have, that I have, is that you must be thorough. You must make sure that you label and draw everything. If you draw something and don’t label it, or you don’t draw something that should have been there, then when you go to construct something there will be lots of confusion and it will end up taking more time to fix the problem than it would have to just double check or do it in the first place.
Those are some of the major qualities that I possess as a professional architect.
