It is difficult to present a detailed image of an architect because architecture allows, and to a certain extent encourages, diversity of individual expression. An architect is an organizer of space in both two and three dimensions. The manner in which she organizes space is a reflection of her training and personality. All are concerned with good architecture.
Creativity is important to an architect, but equally important is an organizing mind.
A good architect is a synthesizer. Then you must communicate your ideas to your client and to the contractors who will execute the design. You need not be a great artist, but you do need to be able to draw since drawings are the architect's means of communication. The kind of drawing you do as an architect can be learned, however, and a natural ability to draw, although helpful, is not necessary. Life as an architect is challenging, and considerable creativity is necessary to satisfy both your clients' needs and your own standards.
