Architecture is arguably one of the most ancient professions. It combines several principles and concepts of Engineering with the creativity of artistic expression. The main job is to create, plan, and design buildings for several purposes, including residential, commercial, industrial, or urban landscaping.

Where Civil Engineers are in charge of creating solutions to problems and coordinating the technical side of a construction process, Architects are the ones that provide a clear guide; they give instructions to Engineers on how they envision the building they're in the process of creating. In other words, Architects are the professionals in charge of giving personality and artistic value to buildings.

Architects are most employed by architectural firms, which are agencies dedicated to designing new buildings and the renovation of old ones. They offer their services to construction companies, investment groups, and governments. When a new building is proposed or renovation is necessary for an old one, several Architectural Firms submit their ideas and designs in a process in which the client will choose the one they like the best, usually based on creativity, viability, and costs. Architects may also be employed in private companies, industries, and government offices as structure consultants and evaluators or work independently.

Personality of an Architect
Architects are creative people who are also investigative. They like finding ways to express themselves creatively and are curious about how things work. Here are some other personality traits that can help you become a successful Architect.

• Adaptability

Sometimes clients change their minds, or the scope of a project varies halfway through. Good Architects need to be adaptable and come up with new ideas that serve the current situation. 

• Creativity

To be a creative Architect, you do not need to create the most outrageous colors and shapes. Instead, you need to think about the client's needs and how the space you're designing will be used and lived in. Think about small solutions to problems people face in retail stores or hotel lobbies and see if a design solution can appeal to your client. 

• Team player

Architects work in teams with other Architects, interior designers, civil engineers, and other professionals. You need to be great at collaborating and communicating your ideas with lots of different stakeholders.
